The recent sequence of #earthquakes in #California is occurring over what's known as a strike-slip fault. These faults are vertical fractures where the blocks move horizontally past each other to release tension below Earth's surface.

South Coast residents, please do not be alarmed by the visible flames tonight. The #ThomasFire is not making a big charge downhill and hasn’t grown much since early Sunday. It’s more visible because the smoke is not as thick. Photo taken from #Summerland , by Mark Johnson.
