The Yorba Linda Fault or Yorba Linda Trend is a Fault system that extends from North East Yorba Linda, California to the South Eastern portion of Chino Hills, California. The fault was discovered in the late 1990s and is known to have caused the MW5.4 2008 Chino Hills earthquake. The fault is believed to produce a MW6.0 earthquake at most.
Famous quotes containing the word fault:
“I often accuse my finest acquaintances of an immense frivolity; for, while there are manners and compliments we do not meet, we do not teach one another the lessons of honesty and sincerity that the brutes do, or of steadiness and solidity that the rocks do. The fault is commonly mutual; however, for we do not habitually demand any more of each other.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
