Seismicity Report for Northern California,
the Nation, and the World for the week of
August 10 - 16, 1995

San Francisco Bay Area    
    
   Activity remained very low over the past week.  During the seven-day
period ending at midnight on Wednesday, August 16, 1995 the U.S.
Geological Survey office in Menlo Park recorded 14 earthquakes of
magnitude one (M1) and greater within the San Francisco Bay area shown in
Figure 1.  Three were as large as M2.  This total compares to 15
earthquakes during the previous seven-day period (August 3 - 9) three of
which were as large as M2.0. 
   The distribution of earthquakes was typical with a pair of M2's on the
central Calaveras fault and a single M2 on the creeping segment of the
San Andreas.  The Calaveras activity consisted of a M2.0 nine miles east
of San Jose (#1 in figure 1) and a M2.1 about 14 miles north of Morgan
Hill (#3/1).  The lone M2 event on the San Andreas was a M2.5 Monday
afternoon that was located about five miles northwest of San Juan Bautista
(#2/1).  
        
Northern & Central California
	
   Once again seismicity in the Cape Mendocino area occurred primarily
within the Gorda Plate, rather than along the Mendocino fracture zone that
forms its southern boundary with the larger Pacific Plate.  Only one
earthquake occurred along the fracture zone, a M2.8 just after midnight
last Friday (#3/2).  Within the Gorda plate a M 2.6 occurred Monday about
60 miles offshore of the Cape (#6/2).  It was followed Wednesday evening
by a M3.0 that occurred just 25 miles offshore (#10/2). 
   The Coast Range saw a decrease of activity in the Geysers area compared
to the previous week.  The largest event of the week was a M2.6 Monday
morning (#5/2), which compares to three earthquakes last week that were as
large as M3.  North of the Geysers a M2.1 occurred near Lakeport last
Friday at a depth of 21 km and a M2.0 occurred Sunday along the southern
Maacama fault (#2/2).  Somewhat unusual was a M2.3 Monday evening in the
central Sacramento Valley, essentially beneath the university town of
Davis (#7/2). 
   Central California, as usual, was most active along the central
creeping segment of the San Andreas with a M2.6 last Thursday southeast of
San Benito (#1/2) and a trio of M2's on Tuesday just six miles north of
the Pinnacles National Monument (9/2).  Sunday morning a M2.1 occurred
along the Big Sur coast about 26 miles southeast of Point Sur (#4/2) and a
M2.2 occurred Monday eight miles southeast of Coalinga.  
    Aside from activity in the Long Valley caldera, the only notable
earthquakes in the Sierra Nevada were a M3.2 and a M2.3 that occurred
Monday night about 22 miles northwest of China Lake (#8/2).

Long Valley Caldera

  There were no earthquakes as large as M2 within the caldera during the
week and only one event that was as large as M1.5.  Activity south of the
caldera declined significantly from last week's level with only three
events as large as M2 in the Red Slate Mountain/Mt. Baldwin areas
(#1,#2,#4/3).  For the second straight week there were multiple M2's in
near the drainage of Lake Crowley (#3/3).  This follows a M3.5 that
occurred in this location on July 20.

USA Seismicity (August 7 - 16)
  
  According to the National Earthquake Information Center a M3.3 occurred
in the Soda Springs area of southeastern Idaho (#3/4) and a M4.4 occurred
along the Blanco fracture zone offshore of central Oregon (#5/4).  Other
notable earthquakes were in California including a M3.3 beneath the Santa
Barbara Channel (#1/4) and a M3.1 north of Banning (#2/4).  

The Planet Earth  (August 7 - 16)

   Two major earthquakes occurred in the New Britain region of Papua New
Guinea on Wednesday (#3/5).  The epicenters of both the M7.8 mainshock and
the M7.2 aftershock were similar, about 160 miles southeast of Rabaul, a
city on the island of New Britain in eastern Papua New Guinea.  At least
three other aftershocks were as large as M6.0.   No damage or injuries
were reported from any of these earthquakes.  
   Other earthquakes of note along the southwest Pacific rim include a
M5.7 in the Loyalty Islands region (#2/5) and a M5.9 in the Kermadec
Islands north of New Zealand (#4/5).  
   Aftershocks continued along the northern coast of Chile after a M7.8 on
July 30.  Two of the largest aftershocks, a M5.5 and a M5.4, were felt in
the coastal towns of Antofagasta, Maria Elena, Talabre, and Tocopilla
(#1/5).  
   China conducted an underground nuclear test on August 17 at its test
site at Lop Nor (#5/5).  The explosion registered 6.1 on the Richter
scale.  This was China's second nuclear test this year.

Notes for Table 1:
       Origin time in the list is in GMT, in the text and on maps
       it is in local time.
       N RD: is the number of readings used to locate the event.
       N S: is the number of S waves in N RD.
       RMS SEC: is the root mean squared residual misfit for the
                location is seconds, the lower the better, over 0.3
                to 0.5 seconds is getting bad, but this is machine,
                not hand timed, data.
       ERH: is the estimated horizontal error in kilometers.
       ERZ: is the estimated vertical error in kilometers.
       N FM: is the number of readings used to compute the magnitude.
       REMKS: obtuse region codes that denote the velocity model
              used to locate the event.
       DUR MAG: is the magnitude as determined from the duration of
                the seismograms, not the amplitude.  Sort of like
                going to echo canyon and measuring how loud your
                yell is by counting echos.
       FIG: denotes the figure/event number in the maps posted separately.
