California Has Experienced Numerous Earthquakes in the Past 24 Hours
California has had 26 earthquakes of magnitude 1.5 or greater in the past 24 hours. This includes the 7.1 earthquake that struck on Friday night. 249 earthquakes have been recorded in the past 7 days, and 1,062 earthquakes have been recorded in the past 30 days.
The high number of earthquakes in California is due to the state's location on the San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is a major geological fault that runs through California. It is the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The two plates are moving past each other, and this movement causes earthquakes.
