In the last 24 hours, Nevada has recorded increased seismic activity with the US Geological Survey reporting seven earthquakes, the most significant being a 4.8 magnitude tremor near Caliente. This earthquake, which occurred at 7:16am ET, had shaking felt as far south as Las Vegas. The activity is attributed to tectonic movement along the Basin and Range Province's fault systems. The region is the third most seismically active in the United States, with previous nuclear testing in the area dating back to the 1950s and 1960s.
Nevada has seen a rise in seismic activity, with a notable 4.8 magnitude earthquake detected near Caliente, impacting areas as far as Las Vegas.
Tectonic activity along fault systems in the Basin and Range Province is likely responsible for the increased earthquakes, underscoring Nevada's high seismicity.
