Over 1,100 individuals reported feeling the recent 3.6-magnitude earthquake in Malibu, raising concerns and questions about the increasing frequency of seismic activity in California.
Magnitude measures the energy released at the source of the earthquake, replacing the old Richter scale; most quakes felt in California cause minimal damage.
Experts advise that during an earthquake, whether inside a building or outdoors, one should stay put, protect oneself, and follow specific safety protocols.
California sees a higher frequency of earthquakes due to its geographic location along several fault lines, raising awareness about earthquake preparedness and safety.
