"The epicenter of this month-long swarm lies in the Basin and Range Province, where the Earth's crust has gradually stretched and thinned, creating frequent faulting and seismic activity."
"Silver Springs is located in the Walker Lane seismic zone, a highly active area where tectonic plates pull apart land, resulting in numerous strike-slip faults."
