Shake Movie for M5.2 Julian earthquake
Computer simulation of shaking during the April 14, 2025 M5.2 Julian, CA earthquake. As the waves propagate away from the epicenter they interact with different geologic materials, which can slow down and amplify the shaking.

Ammonia or Ammonium? What’s the difference?
Ammonia or ammonium? What’s the difference? In water, ammonia (NH3) and ammonium (NH4+) exist together in an equilibrium that depends on pH and temperature. As the temperature or pH rise, ammonia (NH3) becomes more abundant. This is important because ammonia is more toxic than ammonium.

Explained: The December 5th, 2024 Earthquake (AD)
USGS Scientist, Bob deGroot, briefly explains what happened during the magnitude 7.0 earthquake that occurred offshore of Mendocino, CA, on December 5, 2024.
The event occurred in an area called the Triple Junction, where the Pacific, Juan de Fuca, and North American tectonic plates meet.
