Tiny earthquakes reveal hidden faults under Northern California
Phys.org • 1/15/2026
Summary
Seismologists are using data from tiny earthquake swarms to better understand the complex geological interactions between the San Andreas fault and the Cascadia subduction zone, which could potentially lead to significant earthquakes, according to Phys.org. This research highlights the importance of monitoring small seismic events to reveal hidden faults in Northern California.
