Sierra Nevada is associated with the greatest earthquake hazard.
The shaking of the Earth's surface caused by a sudden release of energy in the Earth's lithosphere, which generates seismic waves, is known as an earthquake (also known as a quake, tremor, or temblor). There are many different levels of earthquake intensity, ranging from ones that are so small that no one can feel them to those that are powerful enough to launch people and objects into the air, destroy vital infrastructure, and devastate entire cities. The number, variety, and size of earthquakes that occur in a given area over a given time period is known as its seismic activity. The rate of seismic energy release on average per unit volume is known as seismicity at a specific location on Earth. Tremors are seismic rumblings that don't cause an earthquake.
