The magnitude of an earthquake refers to the measurement of energy released where the earthquake originated.Įarthquakes originate below the surface of the earth in a region called the hypocenter.ĭuring an earthquake, one part of a seismograph remains stationary and one part moves with the earth's surface. The magnitude of an earthquake differs from its intensity. These areas are relatively weak compared to the surrounding plate, and can easily slip and cause an earthquake.Įarthquakes are detected by tracking the size, or magnitude, and intensity of the shock waves they produce, known as seismic waves.
These remain widely misunderstood but are believed to occur along minor faults on the plate itself or when ancient faults or rifts far below the surface reactivate. The Earth has fifteen tectonic plates (pictured) that together have molded the shape of the landscape we see around us today Seismologists said that they expect more aftershocks to continue over the next week and that there is even a 6% chance that an aftershock could register with a magnitude larger than 6.0, the San Francisco Chronicle reported. Jason Ballman with the Southern California Earthquake Center at the University of Southern California, told ABC News that people in the area should expect aftershocks 'for days following an earthquake of this size.' She added that a magnitude 6 earthquake is usually felt for more than 100 miles 'so it is not surprising it was felt in the Central Valley' of California. 'As is common in this region, there are a lot of aftershocks - 10 above M3 in the first hour,' she tweeted. Lucy Jones, a seismologist, tweeted that the magnitude 6.0 earthquake felt this afternoon 'is a classic normal faulting earthquake for eastern California.' The National Weather Service in Sacramento said on Twitter that the earthquake was felt at its office and that it lasted about for about a minute causing blinds and light fixtures to move.ĭr. 'We ran out of the building,' Estrada said. She said syrup bottles broke and dishes fell to the ground - and the roof of the shop even slightly caved in. And no, we don't know why it was labeled as 23 miles from Smith Valley,' the sheriff's office posted.Ĭarolina Estrada, manager at the Walker Coffee Company in Mono County, told ABC News that 'the ground was shaking pretty bad, and then everything started falling.' It was felt throughout Mono County and beyond.
'No other reports of significant damage yet. The Mono County Sheriff's Office posted on Facebook that the earthquake caused a rockslide on U.S. Mayor Hillary Schieve told the Reno Gazette Journal that the Reno City Hall in Nevada was evacuated because of the earthquake.
