**Earthquake Shakes Southern California** Los Angeles, CA (January 1, 2024) - A magnitude 4.2 earthquake struck Southern California on Friday, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The quake occurred at 9:02 AM PST and was centered near the city of Ridgecrest. The earthquake was felt throughout the region, including in Los Angeles, San Diego, and Palm Springs. No injuries or major damage have been reported at this time. According to the USGS, the earthquake was a strike-slip event, meaning that it occurred along a vertical fault. The fault line runs through the Mojave Desert and is known as the Garlock Fault. The Garlock Fault is a major seismic fault that has produced several large earthquakes in the past. The largest known earthquake on the fault was a magnitude 7.9 event that occurred in 1872. Scientists are still studying the earthquake and its potential implications. However, they believe that the risk of a larger earthquake in the area is relatively low. Residents of Southern California are advised to be prepared for future earthquakes. This includes having a plan in place, assembling an emergency kit, and knowing what to do in the event of a quake.

**Earthquakes and the Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale** When an earthquake strikes, it can cause significant damage to the Earth's surface. This damage is measured using the intensity scale, which is based on the observed effects of the earthquake on people and structures. The Modified Mercalli Intensity Scale (MMI) is the most widely used scale for measuring earthquake intensity. It was developed in 1931 and has become the standard used by the United States. The MMI scale consists of twelve levels, ranging from I (not felt) to XII (catastrophic). The intensity of an earthquake is determined by observing the effects it has on people, structures, and the natural environment. **Intensity Witness perceptions and Damage** * **I:** Not felt by people, except in exceptional circumstances. * **II:** Weakly felt by people at rest as a slight vibration or trembling of the ground. * **III:** Felt quite noticeably by people indoors, especially on upper floors of buildings. * **IV:** Causes vibration like passing of heavy truck; shaking of windows and doors; cracking of plaster. * **V:** Felt outdoors; dishes, windows, doors disturbed; walls make cracking sound. * **VI:** Felt by all, many frightened and run outdoors. * **VII:** Everybody runs outdoors. * **VIII:** Damage slight in specially designed structures; considerable damage in ordinary substantial buildings with partial collapse. * **IX:** Buildings shifted off foundations with frames racked. * **X:** Some well-built wooden structures destroyed; most masonry and frame structures destroyed with their foundations; ground badly cracked. * **XI:** Rails bent slightly. * **XII:** Rails bent greatly. The MMI scale is used to provide a quick and easy way to assess the severity of an earthquake. It is important to note that the intensity of an earthquake can vary depending on the location of the epicenter, the depth of the earthquake, and the local geology.
