Loma Prieta
The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake lasted about 15 seconds. It was a magnitude 6.9 earthquake that caused significant damage in the San Francisco Bay Area.
It was called the Loma Prieta earthquake, for the mountain closest to the epicenter.
The Loma Prieta earthquake was caused by the rupture of the San Andreas Fault system, resulting from the tectonic forces along the fault line. The movement of the Pacific Plate against the North American Plate caused stress to build up and eventually release in the form of an earthquake.
The Loma Prieta earthquake occurred on October 17, 1989, with a magnitude of 6.9. It struck the San Francisco Bay Area at 5:04 p.m. local time.
