Earthquake map shows 9 states struck on the same morning

A seismic map released by the US Geological Survey (USGS) showed that minor earthquakes struck nine states on Friday morning.

The quakes come a week after a 7.0-magnitude earthquake struck off the coast of Northern California, sending shockwaves that were felt miles away. The quake was strong enough to issue a tsunami warning, although the warning was canceled shortly after it was issued. Aftershocks continued in Northern California, and minor earthquakes struck the states of Utah, Nevada, Idaho, Texas, Kansas, Alaska, New Mexico, and Washington on Friday morning.

California is perhaps the state most known for earthquakes, as the Golden State has the highest number of damaging earthquakes in the country. However, earthquakes are often reported in other states as well. The map below shows where the earthquakes occurred on Friday:

When looking at earthquake data over the past 30 days, next to California, it appears that earthquakes frequently strike Nevada, Utah, Idaho, Texas, and Oklahoma.

Over the past week, the strongest earthquakes have struck California and Nevada. As for the earthquakes that struck on Friday morning, they were likely not strong enough to cause any damage.

“A temporary increase or decrease in seismic activity is part of the natural fluctuation of earthquake rates,” a USGS spokesperson told Newsweek. “A worldwide increase or decrease is not considered a positive indicator that a major earthquake is imminent.”
