- 1979_Imperial_Valley_earthquake abstract "The 1979 Imperial Valley earthquake occurred at 16:16 Pacific Daylight Time (23:16 UTC) on October 15 just south of the Mexico–United States border. It affected Imperial Valley in southeastern Southern California and Mexicali Valley in northern Baja California. The earthquake had a relatively shallow hypocenter and caused property damage in the United States estimated at $30 million USD. The irrigation systems in the Imperial Valley were badly affected, but the quake was not responsible for any deaths. It was the largest earthquake to occur in the contiguous United States since the 1971 San Fernando earthquake eight years earlier.The earthquake was rated 6.4 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum perceived intensity of IX (Violent) on the Mercalli intensity scale. However, this relatively high intensity rating did not represent the majority of damage that was experienced. Most of the intensity measurements were consistent with an overall maximum intensity of VII (Very strong), with only the damage to a single structure, the Imperial County Services building in El Centro, being judged to be of intensity IX. Several comprehensive studies on the total structural failure of the building were conducted with their focus on how the building responded to the earthquake's vibration. It was one of the first heavily instrumented office buildings that was severely damaged by seismic forces.The Imperial Valley is surrounded by a number of interconnected fault systems and is vulnerable to both moderate and strong earthquakes as well as earthquake swarms. The area was equipped with an array of strong motion seismographs for analyzing the fault mechanisms of nearby earthquakes and the seismic characteristics of the sediments in the valley. Part of the Imperial fault ruptured during a strong earthquake in May 1940, and the large volume of data generated by this event makes the earthquake significant in the scientific community for improving knowledge of both fault mechanics and repeat events. Four of the region's known strike-slip faults and one additional newly discovered normal fault all broke the surface during the earthquake.".
