The probability of occurrence of earthquakes magnitude more than 7.0 last week was one percent.
Last week, seismologists recorded a few weak aftershocks with magnitude up to 4.3. The earthquake lasted about a day. All sensors recorded 200 local areas with the tremors. The natural phenomenon occurred in one of the most seismically complex areas of California.
The earthquake, as scientists believe, can initiate the activity of the San Andreas. A major earthquake in the region occur every 150-200 years and, according to geophysicists, the time for such an event has already occurred.
According to the USGS, the probability of occurrence of earthquakes magnitude more than 7.0 last week was one percent.
Previously, researchers have shown the plausibility of a scenario in which perturbations from San Andreas with the right of it the fault of the San Jacinto to provoke an earthquake.
Scientists have repeatedly expressed concerns about the high probability of aftershocks in California. One of the most destructive events occurred in 1812, when the district of San Juan Capistrano was recorded earthquake of magnitude 7.5.
