Los Angeles Experiences Earthquake Shaking Again

A magnitude-3.0 earthquake struck South Pasadena on Tuesday, causing light shaking across the Los Angeles area, following a slightly stronger magnitude-3.5 quake in the same location on Sunday. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has recorded three earthquakes in the region since Sunday, with Tuesday’s tremor being the largest. Aftershocks, which are smaller earthquakes that occur in the same general area after a larger event or mainshock, can happen days or even years after the initial quake, with their frequency diminishing over time.
