Magnitude 5.7 earthquake in Nevada | April 14, 2026 [UPuwVgExlOv]
On April 13, 2026 there was a magnitude 5.7 earthquake near Silver Springs, Nevada. Shaking from this earthquake was felt across Nevada and much of northern California. This video talks about that earthquake as well as why the magnitude for earthquakes often changes. Quick clarification - the types of fault that I discuss in the video are normal faults, but Nevada has other types of faults as well. The earthquake today occurred on a strike slip fault. **Edited to add that this was recorded on April 13, not April 14.** #nevada #california #earthquake #science #nevadaearthquake
