California-Nevada Fault Maps
Instructions
Tips
- Red lines are known faults (orange lines are unnamed faults).
- Thin grey lines are roads.
- Magnitude = ? for new earthquakes until a magnitude is determined (takes 4-5 minutes).
-
Earthquakes can appear near a fault without having occurred on that fault.
To associate an earthquake with a fault requires viewing both of them in three-dimensions.
- Maps show events recorded in the past 7 days.
-
Maps are updated whenever a new earthquake has been located.
