Ridgecrest-Area Earthquakes Caused Damage to Earth’s Crust, Satellite Images Show

Damage to the earth’s crust from the magnitude 6.4 and 7.1 earthquakes that struck Southern California last week is visible in a kaleidoscopic satellite image released by NASA.

The Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena used satellite data to produce a map showing ruptures and displacements not visible to the naked eye — employing technology that has been developed over the last quarter of a century. The imagery was acquired on July 8 and compared with data from April 8.

The earthquakes were the largest to hit California in nearly 20 years and were felt as far away as Phoenix and Mexicali, Mexico.

Caused by climate change. Definitely Trumps fault.

There is a volcanic field there. Not the Long Valley Caldera, but another which name I cant remember.

Makes me wonder.

We need to raise taxes so we can stop earthquakes from harming the crust!

I was gonna ask how you get an interferogram of the earth’s surface? Apparently, with before and after shots from an Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar.

Caused damage to earth’s crust??

What an asinine comment!

It’s earth’s crust itself doing its thing that caused the earthquakes!!

Oh, heavens to Betsy! The crust has been damaged! It’s called a fault, you rubes. More tax dollars down the toilet.

This wouldn't have happened if Trump would have released his tax records as congress requested.

Those are not interference pattern. That is paint that seeped to the surface from vast reservoirs underground.
