"Earthquakes Shake New Jersey and Alaska: A Seismic Roundup"

Over the past week, the United States has experienced a series of notable earthquakes, with particular attention focused on New Jersey and Alaska. In Morris County, New Jersey, a sequence of seven shallow earthquakes struck near the towns of Randolph and Mendham over an 18 hour period on July twenty first. According to Watchers News, these quakes ranged in magnitude from zero point seven to two and occurred at a depth of about three miles or five kilometers. The strongest event measured magnitude two and was centered around one point eight miles southeast of Randolph. Residents reported hearing loud booms and feeling light shaking, which prompted several nine one one calls, but local emergency management confirmed there were no injuries or structural damage. All of these earthquakes occurred near the Ramapo Fault system, an established but only moderately active zone of intraplate seismicity in the northeastern United States. The United States Geological Survey noted that this swarm differed from the magnitude four point eight quake that affected New Jersey in April of the previous year, as this recent cluster was not followed by a typical aftershock sequence.

Further seismic activity was observed in Alaska, which remains one of the nation's most seismically active states. Earthquake Track reports a magnitude three point seven earthquake occurred near Sand Point, Alaska, on July thirtieth at a depth of about eight point seven miles, or fourteen kilometers. Such quakes are common for the region, which sits along the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area known for frequent and sometimes large earthquakes. No major damage or disruptions were reported with this recent event.

In California, a small magnitude one point six earthquake occurred near Cobb, about four point two miles from the town, on July twenty third. There were no reports of damage or injuries, consistent with the generally minor impact of quakes of this size.

Globally, the past week has seen several significant seismic events, though most occurred far from the US mainland. The most powerful was a magnitude eight point eight earthquake on Russia's Kamchatka Peninsula on July twenty ninth, as recorded by both Artemis and Earthquake Track. Indonesia also experienced a magnitude six point three quake on July twenty third, and a strong magnitude seven point three earthquake was recorded near Sand Point, Alaska earlier this month.

While the United States continues to see mostly moderate and small events, the recent activity in New Jersey offers a reminder that even regions not typically associated with frequent quakes can experience noticeable seismic activity. According to the United States Geological Survey, the pattern of rare but sometimes clustered events in the eastern US highlights the importance of continuous monitoring and public preparedness, even in areas with lower seismic risk.
