The region has experienced an average of 30 earthquakes per hour following Friday night's swarm.
A series of significant earthquakes and aftershocks in California this weekend have already resulted in significant property damage and disruptions across the region. Located within the reach of those quakes is the Coso Volcanic Field, but government geologists say the earthquakes have not triggered any indicators of eruptions to come.
The Coso field is located east of the Sierra Nevada mountains in the northern portion of the Mojave Desert, about 100 miles northeast of Bakersfield and about 200 miles north of Los Angeles. "No ground deformation indicative of volcanic activity has been detected, and there is no imminent threat of an eruption," noted the alert."The California Volcano Observatory will continue to monitor the situation for any sign of volcanic activity and provide updates as warranted."
