Difference between 1994 Northridge earthquake and Earthquake

1994 Northridge earthquake vs. Earthquake

The 1994 Northridge earthquake occurred on January 17, at 4:30:55 a.m. PST and had its epicenter in Reseda, a neighborhood in the north-central San Fernando Valley region of Los Angeles, California, USA. An earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor or temblor) is the shaking of the surface of the Earth, resulting from the sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere that creates seismic waves.

Similarities between 1994 Northridge earthquake and Earthquake

1994 Northridge earthquake and Earthquake have 7 things in common (in Unionpedia): Aftershock, Earthquake engineering, Epicenter, Mercalli intensity scale, Moment magnitude scale, Peak ground acceleration, United States Geological Survey.

Aftershock

An aftershock is a smaller earthquake that occurs after a previous large earthquake, in the same area of the main shock.
