Informazioni sui terremoti

Indice cronologico dei terremoti

Come l’immagine cliccabile, questa lista non contiene tutti i terremoti mai registrati nella California del sud sopra una certa magnitudo; questi sono eventi selezionati e non rappresentano una lista completa. I cataloghi di tutti gli eventi della California meridionale registrati dal 1932 possono essere consultati altrove.

I terremoti qui elencati sono contrassegnati da quadrati colorati che indicano la magnitudo. La scala è la seguente:

Sotto magnitudo 4.5
Magnitudo 4.5 to 5.4
Magnitudo 5.5 to 6.4
Magnitudo 6.5 a 7.4
Magnitudo 7.5 e superiore

Per varie ragioni, non tutti i terremoti qui elencati sono presenti nell’immagine cliccabile. In genere, il nome più comune di un evento è dato qui, ma alcuni terremoti possono essere indicati con nomi non elencati qui.
