Scientist Question - Catalog Error?
Posted by Petra on November 23, 2005 at 19:07:54:

Here's the catalog listings for the October 1969 Rodgers Creek Fault Earthquakes. You'll notice the two 5.0 quakes are fairly shallow, but what's the story with the one that is 22.58 kms deep? Is that an error? If so, how is it ever corrected? They say the RCF might be an extension of the Hayward Fault and that could be true when you look at EQ depths as an example. I would have thought the quakes would have been much deeper...Petra
