Shock: M6.0 earthquake hits California! Antelope Valley, US.

A shallow M6.0 earthquake struck Little Antelope Valley, California, near the Nevada border at 22:49 UTC on July 8, 2021 (15:49 LT). This is the largest earthquake to hit California since the July 2019 Ridgecrest earthquake. The epicenter was located about 32 km (20 miles) SW of Smith Valley, Nevada, and 32 km SE of Markleeville, California. About 270 000 people live within 100 km (62 miles).

More than 470 aftershocks were reported until 10:00 UTC on July 10, with magnitudes ranging from 0,8 to 5,2. Preliminary focal mechanism solutions for the event, which describe the style of faulting in an earthquake, indicate slip likely occurred on a moderately dipping fault striking roughly north-south.

The event occurred at the margin of the stable Sierra Nevada microplate and the Walker Lane, a zone of distributed shear. The microplate moves at about 12 mm/yr (0.5 inches per year) to the northwest relative to the North American plate.

It is a part of the broader Pacific-North America plate boundary system of California, and roughly 25% of the 5 cm/yr (2 inches) total plate boundary motion occurs east of the Sierra Nevada.
