Why earthquakes happen in this region

Many parts of North America are shaped by active tectonic boundaries, subduction zones or crustal faults that can generate moderate to strong earthquakes. Events like this occur when accumulated stress in the Earth’s crust is suddenly released.

Ongoing seismic monitoring

Seismic agencies continue to monitor the area for possible aftershocks and updated technical solutions. Magnitude, depth and location data may be revised slightly as more stations process the event.
