Experts say the junction is where the North American, Pacific and Gorda tectonic plates rub against each other. The Geological Society of America said in a Facebook post that it is suspected that the earthquake occurred when two plates suddenly slid past each other, a phenomenon called a strike-slip fault.
Earthquakes are common in the area around the Mendocino Triple Junction... Over the past century, there have been at least 40 earthquakes of magnitude 6 or greater within 155 miles of the epicenter, including five earthquakes of magnitude 7 or greater.
