On Tuesday 29 July 2008 at 11:42 PDT, a magnitude 5.6 earthquake occurred near Chino, California. This earthquake was located at (-117.52, 33.95) with a depth of 7 km. Over 34,000 people reported feeling this quake. This visualization includes: The mainshock (large red diamond), initial aftershocks (orange spheres), EarthScope’s USArray seismic stations (purple cylinders), USA state boundaries (yellow lines), previously recorded global seismicity (Yellow points, ~13,000 seismic events from the 1900-2002 Engdahl Centennial Earthquake Catalog), plate tectonic boundaries (transform faults: yellow; trenches: blue; ocean ridges: pink), and volcanic hotspots (dark pink diamonds). Seismic waveforms of the mainshock event recorded by the ANZA seismic network are included as a vertical image. We also include topography and bathymetry of the region where regions of high elevation are in browns and light greens and regions of lower elevations are in forest greens, on the sea floor light blue indicates higher elevations than the darker blues.
