A series of six earthquakes has shaken Southern California near the Salton Sea, with the largest registering 4.3 in magnitude. The swarm occurred along the Pacific and North American tectonic plate boundary, an area known for seismic activity. Three quakes struck the same location shortly after one another, all registering over 2.5 in magnitude. The earthquakes are located near significant fault lines, including the San Andreas fault, where concern rises over the potential for a larger earthquake dubbed 'The Big One.'
A swarm of six earthquakes struck Southern California near the Salton Sea, with the strongest measuring 4.3 in magnitude, potentially indicating the approach of a major quake.
The latest earthquake swarm occurred along the boundary of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates, a region notorious for its seismic activity and the potential for larger quakes.
This earthquake activity is concerning as the region is near several fault lines, including the notorious San Andreas fault, which raises alarms for a possible mega earthquake.
Scientists and Californians widely believe that 'The Big One' is inevitable, with recent quakes potentially signaling its impending occurrence.
