What time and where was the epicenter? What degree of magnitude was it and how long did it last? You will find all the answers to your questions minute by minute with videos and photos of the affected area in this special article with the preventive and evacuation measures offered by the government of President Joe Biden.

Earthquake in USA today, Tuesday July 18
It should be added that the earthquakes in California are caused by the collision of huge blocks of the earth’s crust. Southern California lies on the border between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. The most conservative calculations suggest that, if an earthquake of magnitude 7.8 on the Richter scale occurs on the San Andreas fault, it could cause serious consequences.
Of all those mentioned, California is the state where there is a high probability of suffering a strong tremor of 7.8 on the Richter scale due to being located on the San Andreas fault. The cities that would be affected, according to official information from the USGS, would be the San Francisco Bay, Los Angeles (the second most populous city in the United States) and San Diego.

The USGS is also in charge of analyzing the 84 volcanoes found in the US territory that can also be activated during a strong earthquake.
