"An earthquake with a preliminary magnitude of 3.7 rattled roughly 37 miles north of Santa Rosa in Northern California on Thursday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey."
"The quake's epicenter was located 1.6 miles southeast of The Geysers. Known for its frequent seismic activity and being the site of the world's largest developed geothermal field, The Geysers was also hit with a 4.1-magnitude earthquake earlier this week on Monday."
"The quake is the latest in a swarm of earthquakes that have hit the Bay Area and Northern California in the month of November. However, experts caution that the uptick in seismic activity doesn't mean the "big one" is imminent in the region."
A preliminary 3.7-magnitude earthquake struck roughly 37 miles north of Santa Rosa, with the epicenter about 1.6 miles southeast of The Geysers. The Geysers is known for frequent seismic activity and hosts the world's largest developed geothermal field. The area experienced a 4.1-magnitude earthquake earlier that week on Monday, part of a continuing sequence. November has seen a swarm of earthquakes across the Bay Area and Northern California, increasing short-term seismicity. Seismologists caution that an uptick in small and moderate quakes does not necessarily indicate that a major regional earthquake is imminent.
