Seismicity Report for Northern California,
the Nation, and the World for the week of
May 30 - June 5, 1996

 Stephen R. Walter
U.S. Geological Survey
345 Middlefield Rd.  MS-977, Menlo Park, CA  94025

     
San Francisco Bay Area 

  It was quiet throughout the Bay Area with the only significant activity
occurring along the central creeping segment of the San Andreas southeast
of Hollister.  During the seven-day period ending at midnight on
Wednesday, June 05, 1996 the U.S. Geological Survey office in Menlo Park
recorded 30 earthquakes of magnitude one (M1) and greater within the San
Francisco Bay area shown in Figure 1.  Six were as large as M2.  This
total compares to 41 earthquakes during the previous seven-day period (May
23 - 29), five of which were as large as M2.0.
  The activity on the creeping San Andreas all occurred within about a two
hour period last Thursday afternoon.  Beginning with a M3.2 event, it
included just seven earthquakes as large as M1.0, including two M2 events
and a second M3 event at the end of the sequence (#1/1).  The larger of
these earthquakes may have been felt in the Hollister area, just 13 miles
to the north-northwest.  Earthquakes in the M2 to M3 range are common
along this part of the San Andreas, which appears to release strain along
the fault through regular small earthquakes, rather than in infrequent,
large events.
   Activity in the central Bay Area was limited to a couple of M1's on the
northern Hayward fault (#3,#4/1), a M2.6 near the north end of the
Calaveras fault that was felt in the San Ramon area (#2/1), and a M2.2
along the central Calaveras that was not reported to have been felt
(#5/1).
   
Northern & Central California
	
   It was a relatively quiet week throughout the rest of the region with
most of the activity in the vicinity of the triple junction near Cape
Mendocino.  Four deep M2 earthquakes occurred beneath the Klamath
Mountains south and east of Eureka, reflecting movements within the
subducted Gorda Plate.  The first and largest, a 33-km-deep M2.9 event,
occurred last Friday afternoon about 18 miles northwest of Weaverville
(#1/2).  It was followed later that evening by a M2.0, also located a
depth of 33 km, but closer to the triple junction just 11 miles east of
Petrolia (#2/2).  The deepest earthquake in the area was a 41-km-deep
event early Sunday morning, the epicenter located about 50 miles southwest
of Yreka (#4/2).  A relatively shallow 24-km-deep M2.2 occurred early
Wednesday morning about 38 miles northeast of Eureka (#8/2).  Offshore
activity was limited to a M3.1 in the southern Gorda Plate (#6/2) and a
M2.4 along the Mendocino fracture zone (#9/2).  
   The only other notable earthquakes in the region were a pair of M2
events beneath the Sacramento Valley about 13 miles southwest of Chico
(#5/2), a scattering of M2's at the Geysers (#7/2), and the week's largest
earthquake:  a M3.4 in the Markleeville area (#3/2).     

Long Valley Caldera

   The only earthquake as large as M2 in the Long Valley area was a M2.2
along the southwest edge of the resurgent dome about two miles northeast
of Mammoth Lakes (#1/3).

USA Seismicity (May 27 - June 6)
  
   The National Earthquake Information Center noted a number of minor
earthquakes in the lower 48 states during the past week.  Largest were a
M3.6 and a M3.8 beneath the Continental Divide, about 55 miles northeast
of Missoula, Montana (#3/4).  Slightly smaller was M3.2 that occurred east
of Seattle, an aftershock to a M5.5 on May 3 (#2/4).  Eastern Nevada
experienced a M3.5 at noon on Sunday that was located just west of the
town of Ely (#4/4).  Finally, southern California saw a M3.0 in the Mojave
dessert north of Barstow (#1/4), a M3.2 in the Ridgecrest area (#5/4), and
a M3.0 in the southern Sierra Nevada range east of Bakersfield (#6/4).    

The Planet Earth  (May 27 - June 6)

 The deep-sea oceanic ridges were especially active during the past week. 
The largest earthquake on the planet was a Ms6.8 that occurred Sunday
along the northern mid-Atlantic ridge (#4/5).  It was preceded minutes
earlier by a pair of M5 events about 1,000 miles farther north along the
ridge (#3/5).   The east Pacific rise was also active with a Ms5.2 on
Saturday (#1/5) and a M5.7 on Tuesday (#6/5).  
  The only earthquake reported to have caused damage was a Mb5.2 in Gansu,
China that produced minor damage in the Tianzhu area (#2/5).

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.
