Seismologists said Southern California is experiencing increased earthquake activity a day after a 4.4-magnitude earthquake shook homes across Los Angeles.By mid-August, the region has had 13 earthquakes measuring a magnitude of 4.0 or greater this year. Normally, Southern California averages between 10 and 12 tremors of that size a year. 'We are seeing an ongoing process of earthquakes happening along this fault,' geophysicist Dr. Lucy Jones said.
It has the potential to cause major damage. 'They are considered the set of faults capable of producing probably the most damage of any earthquake in SoCal because of the location,' Jones said. 'Because they run under old structures and densely inhabited areas.'Jones added that earthquakes here could be five to ten times more destructive than earthquakes along the San Andreas Fault. In fact, the 1987 Whittier Narrows earthquake happened along the Puente Hills thrust fault system.
