Magnitude 4.8 earthquake strikes Mexican-Californian border area

Original: BREAKING: A magnitude 4.8 earthquake has struck just at the Mexican-Californian border. This was an extensional oblique

A magnitude 4.8 earthquake has struck near the Mexican-Californian border at a depth of 10.5 km, described as an extensional oblique slip event. Seismologists note it came six minutes after a magnitude 5.2 quake along the Mid-Indian Ridge, roughly on the opposite side of the globe. Observers are watching for possible further activity in the region.

Why now: A fresh, unusually paired pair of earthquakes is prompting concern about whether more seismic activity may follow.
