A light 4.4-magnitude earthquake struck in Southern California on Monday, according to the United States Geological Survey. The quake struck at 3:18 a.m. about 14 miles southwest of La Quinta, California, and was felt across the region, from Los Angeles to San Diego.
The quake caused some shaking but no major damage. However, some buildings in Los Angeles were evacuated as a precaution.
There have been several other earthquakes in the La Quinta area in recent days, including a 3.4-magnitude quake on Saturday and a 2.5-magnitude quake on Sunday.
These earthquakes are part of a swarm of seismic activity that has been occurring in the Salton Sea area since last fall. The swarm has produced more than 10,000 earthquakes, most of them too small to be felt.
Scientists are still studying the cause of the swarm, but they believe it is likely due to the movement of magma beneath the surface.
If you live in the La Quinta area, it is important to be prepared for earthquakes. Have a plan in place for what to do if an earthquake strikes, and make sure you have supplies on hand, such as food, water, and a first-aid kit.
