USGS earthquake alert
These earthquakes occurred near the San Andreas Fault. According to the USGS, events such as these are usually minor adjustments in segments of the fault, possibly in the northern portion, near San Francisco Bay, where the Pacific Plate slides horizontally against the North American Plate at a rate of about 3-5 cm per year.
