The coast of California is startled by seven earthquakes in less than a day, so fears are going on that the 'big' could be on the road.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) detected a 3.7 Magnitude Quake in the city of Hayward in the city of Hayward on Thursday at 4.59 pm.
Only two hours earlier touch three earthquakes near Hayward and Petrolia.
All four struck less than 12 hours after three seismic events cradled the same areas early in the morning.
An earthquake of 3.4 magnitude was detected in the city of Hayward at 2.52 pm et, followed by a 3.2 Magnitude Quake only two minutes later.
At 2.40 pm an earthquake of 2.9 magnitude was reported just off the coast near Petrolia and was preceded by An earthquake of 2.7 Magnitude at 8:03 am in almost exactly the same part of Hayward.
Two more earthquakes hit less than six hours earlier, about 250 miles north of the Hayward Quakes.
The vibrations near Petrolia became the San Andreas error that scientists followed because it is too late for a large event that would cause considerable damage and loss of lives.

USGS says that the first tremor strikes at 2:06 am and measures a 3.3 -magnitude.
It was quickly followed by another 3.4 magnitude earthquake less than three hours later at 4:51 am et.
Those earlier earthquakes near Petrolia were about 20 miles centered off the coast.
While the three earthquakes near Petrolia met a relatively quiet part of North California, they are in Hayward in a part of the state between large cities such as San Francisco, Oakland and Fremont.
The latest earthquakes in Hayward took place due to the appropriate Hayward error, which is USGS Notes an active error in the San Francisco Bay region.
The USGS shows that hundreds of people felt all three seismic events on Thursday morning, in which more than 100 residents report that shake during the 2.7 earthquake.
The Hayward error runs along the foot of the East Bay Hills. The last major earthquake on October 21, 1868, with a size of 6.8.
Historical data show that five people were killed and 30 were injured.
Scientists have checked the mistake and discover that it once produces large earthquakes for 140 years.
“Because it has been more than 144 years ago since the last major earthquake, the clock taps,” said researchers from the University of California, Berkley.
“It is very likely that the Hayward error will tear in the next 30 years and produce a considerable earthquake.”
The three Magnitude-3 government in the vicinity of Petrolia took place near the northern part of the notorious San Andreas error, a big break in the earth's crust that spans 800 miles up and down California.
The seismic events also took place along the border of the Pacific plate – the oceanic tectonic plate that lies under the Pacific Ocean.

It is the biggest tectonic record on earth, and recent studies have suggested that large undersea mistakes can pull it apart.
A 2024 study in geophysical research letters showed that the deep underwater errors are the result of enormous forces in the Pacific plate that it drags to the West.
The San Andreas Fault Line is also only kilometers from the Hayward error.
Experts have warned that California is too late for a new massive earthquake along the San Andreas.
A potential magnitude 8 earthquake would cause the most populated cities of the state, which causes around 1,800 deaths, 50,000 injuries and $ 200 billion in damage, according to estimates of the Chalifornia authority.
Experts are 'pretty sure that there could be a fairly large earthquake in the next 30 years', said Angie Lux, project scientist for earthquake early warning in the Berkeley Seismology Lab, to DailyMail.com in 2024.
With regard to this most recent series of smaller earthquakes, seismic activity above 2.5 can often be felt and cause minor damage.
The San Andreas error loosened a few earthquakes on 10 February and rocked San Bernardino.
The USGS detected a provisional 3.5 -magnitude at 12:44 pm et, followed by a 3.0 -magnitude about four minutes later.
The 3.5 earthquake was felt in San Bernardino, as well as Ontario, Victorville, Hesperia and Riverside.
Residents in Inglewood, Redondo Beach, Palm Springs, Huntington Beach and North San Diego County reported that they also felt them, as an X user said, “Feeled both!”
“Yup felt that one day in California,” wrote another.
More than 230 people said they felt shaking, said the USGS -Vilt report.
Others said they didn't feel the earthquakes at all, because California is used to larger vibrations.
“Hell, I am in San Bernardino – and I needed social media to tell me that there was an earthquake,” said a person on X.
“No, it didn't feel it. And I'm in that area, “said another on Facebook.
