More than 1,000 small earthquakes have long been almost a month noisily through an area of Southern California – but few people actually noticed. “Swarmageddon” as it was called, began on May 25 and lasted at least 19 June to the Southern California Seismic Network, a partnership between the US Geological Survey and the California Institute of Technology. He hit 40 miles east of downtown Los Angeles in an area of San Bernardino and Riverside counties. at least 1,060 earthquakes were recorded, although none of them was stronger than magnitude 3.2 shakes a blip in terms of California. The vast majority were smaller than 2, most of the people does not mean that they could hear. Jennifer Andrews, a seismologist at Caltech Seismological Laboratory, told Time that while earthquake swarms are “quite common” in Southern California, the youngest swarm is getting attention because it occurred in a densely populated area. “I would say they are getting along earthquakes everywhere, and often in volcanic areas,” he added. Andrews says that Californians should not consider the swarm as a warning sign of the so-called “big” – the next devastating earthquake that strikes at the heart of many fear that lives in the state. “There is no way of knowing if these schools are predictors,” he says. California braced for the last “big” in September of 2016, like a swarm of over 100 earthquakes hit Bombay Beach in Southern California. The quake occurred a series of cross faults nearby that connect to the San Andreas fault, triggered the alarm, the activity is seen along this particularly dangerous fault. “The reason why we pay attention to schools closer to the San Andreas fault that is overdue for an earthquake, so if there is activity in the vicinity, it is possible, everything is caused by swarms could move to San Andreas and solve den, Big One ‘, “says Andrews. California has experienced an average of a magnitude 3 earthquakes almost daily with 26 in the last 30 days alone. The last major earthquake in California in 1994, have been hit by the Northridge earthquake, Los Angeles and surrounding areas. The 6.7 magnitude earthquake 72 people of 25 billion dollars in damage, killed and wounded 9,000 more. Of the 300 fault lines in the state, the pressure around the San Andreas fault running nearly 800 miles long, and close to the densely populated city of San Francisco and Los Angeles, built in 1906 for the last catastrophic earthquake to 3,000 people to be killed. According to the US Geological Survey, the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, magnitude 7.9 event one of the deadliest natural disasters in US history remain. image Copyright Photo courtesy of United States Geological Survey
