The shock originated at 15:40:41 local time 22:40:41 UTC (3:40:41 PM PDT) south of Guadalupe Victoria, Baja California, Mexico. The 89-second quake was widely felt throughout northwest Mexico and southern California. It was also the strongest to rock southern California in at least 18 years (since the M 7.3 1992 Landers earthquake), if not longer: the next most recent comparable earthquake—the 1952 Kern County earthquake (M 7.3)—was 58 years earlier. Each of these earthquakes had a similar magnitude, and was also felt across a large swath of North America. Most of the damage occurred in the twin cities of Mexicali and Calexico on the Mexico–United States border. Geology The quake originally was believed to have occurred on the Laguna Salada Fault, which is about 60–80 km us long and straddles the California–Baja California border. The active Laguna Salada Fault ruptured in February 1892 with an estimated w y 7.2 earthquake.(Hough & Elliott, Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America, August 2004, volume 94) By the distribution of aftershocks and using radar interferometry, the main shock rupture was found to have occurred on a previously unmapped fault in the Cucapah Mountains and beneath the Colorado River Delta. This fault line was named the Indiviso Fault, after the nearby town of El Indiviso.Naranjo Laura Baja's Fault November 20, 2011 http://earthdata.nasa.gov/featured-stories/featured-research/bajas-fault NASA EOSDIS November 13, 2012 October 4, 2020 https://web.archive.org/web/20201004000026/https://earthdata.nasa.gov/learn/sensing-our-planet/baja-s-fault/ live A liquefaction zone bounded by the Cerro Prieto Fault and the Laguna Salada Fault was observed.http://www.asf.alaska.edu/news_notes/6-4/m72-el-major-cucapa-earthquake-baja-california M72-el-major-cucapa-quake | Alaska Satellite Facility October 28, 2011 July 28, 2013 https://web.archive.org/web/20130728150641/http://www.asf.alaska.edu/news_notes/6-4/m72-el-major-cucapa-earthquake-baja-california dead Timeline Foreshocks Mexicali, El Centro, San Diego, Ensenada, and Tijuana are situated in a very active seismic zone and surrounded by important faults.

In cases like this, that often means increasing stress on other faults, which makes them more prone to movement. The energy seems to be moving northward toward the San Andreas Fault. I don't want to anthropomorphize, but it's like this quake was goading the San Andreas." It remains to be seen how the 1300 km on San Andreas Fault was affected by these temblors. The southern section of the San Andreas Fault worries scientists, because it has not ruptured in more than 300 years. The region also includes other faults, including the Imperial Fault Zone.http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/apr/05/temblor-could-disturb-faults-scientists-say/ Temblor could disturb faults, scientists say Lafee, Scott The San Diego Union-Tribune April 5, 2010 April 5, 2010 https://web.archive.org/web/20100407075438/http://www.signonsandiego.com/news/2010/apr/05/temblor-could-disturb-faults-scientists-say/ April 7, 2010 live In the early morning hours of April 10, 2010, an aftershock measuring magnitude 4.4 was felt throughout most of Southern California and Baja California.

Whether or not this is the Cerro Prieto Fault is unclear as of April 5. This is a developing field situation, as geologists are working to locate and measure the lateral extent of the surface faulting.
