Dolores, Philippines has been struck with a 7.3 earthquake.(Tunatura/iStock) An earthquake with a 7.3 magnitude struck the city of Dolores, the Philippines on July 27, 2022. In terms of time zones, the Philippines is twelve hours ahead of New York. Initial reports of the quake started early in the morning (NYC time) already documenting four killed and numerous injuries.

The reality of an earthquake in New York(Edvinas Bruzas/Unsplash) New York’s fault lines are on top of some of the most seismically volatile spots in the country. Within the last five years, USGS has detected more than ten earthquakes, one having a magnitude of 3.1!

This building located in southern Colorado has caused over 6000 earthquakes but it serves an important role in keeping the Colorado River clean so that we can grow crops that feed the United States and Mexico. Let me know what you think should be the future of this project in the comments below.

One of the most powerful earthquakes hit Alaska.(Viperry/iStock)w. One in Alaska, the United States, and the other in Peru. These two particular earthquakes have been strong enough to shake up the United States Geological Survey and be added to the list of Significant Earthquakes… and they occurred within days of each other!

Cajas of Cuenca, Ecuador was hit with a 4.4 earthquake.(Kalistratova/iStock) Ecuador is generally a highly seismic region of the world. The region is prone to earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and even tsunamis.

I love the California Academy of Science in Golden Gate Park. Don’t miss Earthquake, a major exhibit exploring the seismic science of Earth’s fascinating geologic transformations—and forces that continue to impact our lives today. Occupying the entire west wing of the Academy, Earthquake goes big: Among its large-scale installations are a walk-through model of planet Earth, an earthquake simulator resembling an old Victorian home, and an interactive space that teaches earthquake preparedness. Experience the sustained tremors of San Francisco's two biggest quakes—the 6.9-magnitude Loma Prieta earthquake and the 7.9-magnitude Great San Francisco quake of 1906—from inside the dining room of a Victorian-era "Painted Lady" house.

Earthquakes are putting the states to the test.(Chandler Cruttenden/Unsplash) A series of earthquakes have hit Texas, California, Utah, Nevada, New Mexico, Puerto Rico, Hawai’i, and Alaska. The United States took a small hit today compared to the rest of the world – all within a single day.

A powerful earthquake hit in a highly volcanic area of the Pacific.(@GeroldGrotelueschen/iStock) An earthquake with an initial magnitude of 7.3 struck Macquarie Island in the Pacific. Later adjusted to 6.7, it was still powerful and enough to give seismologists reason to be on alert.

California's status as an earthquake zone is a well-known fact. The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault. This fault extends about 1,200 kilometers (750 miles) through the state. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific and the North American Plate. The fault system under California is very active as the tectonic plates often move.
