The 1992 Cape Mendocino earthquakes (or 1992 Petrolia earthquakes) occurred along the Lost Coast of Northern California on April 25 and 26. The three largest events were the M7.2 thrust mainshock that struck near the unincorporated community of Petrolia midday on April 25 and two primary strike-slip aftershocks measuring 6.5 and 6.6 that followed early the next morning. The sequence encompassed both interplate and intraplate activity that was associated with the Mendocino Triple Junction, a complex system of three major faults (including the Cascadia subduction zone, San Andreas Fault, and Mendocino Fracture Zone) that converge near Cape Mendocino. The total number of aftershocks that followed the events exceeded 2,000.

  • Els terratrèmols de Cap Mendocino van ser uns sismes que van sacsejar el Nord de Califòrnia entre els dies 25 i 26 d'abril de 1992. Els tres terratrèmols van assolir un rang de IX (violents) en l'escala de Mercalli i una magnitud de 7,2 en l'escala de Richter i van tenir centenars de rèpliques de diversa intensitat, algunes de les quals duraren fins a quinze segons seguits. El nom ve per la proximitat del Cap Mendocino a la zona més afectada (Zona de Fractura Mendocino), propera a la falla de San Andrés. Va ser el cinquè terratrèmol en magnitud de l'any 1992. (ca)
