Note sull'episodio
Western North Carolina felt three earthquakes in 24 hours in June, and one Appalachian State University professor said a recently discovered fault line might have been behind it. Each was relatively small, according to records, and near the area of the 5.1 magnitude earthquake in Sparta, North Carolina, in 2020. Appalachian State University professor Scott Marshall says earthquakes in the eastern United States are more difficult to study than in the west. Marshall joined Jeff Hamlin on the WPTF Afternoon News to discuss the earthquakes.
