1. Write a paragraph summary of the article
The article is about an after shock that was magnitude-6.0. It took out buildings and people. The quake which knocked out power also hit a wine making industry on the eve of its harvest, and could result in more then $100 million in losses. At least 172 people were treated for injuries after the quake. Alot of buisness will be up and running but without a doubt there will be a financial hardship but they will get through it.
2. Research the cause of this particular quake and write a brief summary.
The early morning earthquake centered about 6.7 miles underneath Northern California's wine country. It's like most locales along the Pacific rim where the ocean crust and continental crust clash to create numerous faults and quakes. All earthquakes spring from faults deep underground, but it can take scientists some time to identify the particular type of fault-line activity behind a specific earthquake. Which will be the case with Sunday’s Napa Valley quake since some reports said the quake was caused by the Franklin Fault, a crack in the Earth that they thought was dormant.
