Rare M3.0 quake on Colorado Plateau west of Page


A magnitude 3.0 earthquake occurred just before 8 am local time today, about 20 miles west of Page, Arizona, and close to the Grand Canyon. This area is well into the Colorado Plateau and sees very few quakes. [right, location map with 2010 seismicity, from the USGS]
