Does Arizona Have Earthquakes?
October 4, 2012 | Arizona Geological Survey

“Each time an earthquake occurs in Arizona, the news media and public asks, “Does Arizona have earthquakes?”. Short answer: yes! In comparison with California, Nevada, and Utah, major earthquakes in Arizona are infrequent. But each year, Arizona Broadband Seismic Network (ABSN) seismometers record hundreds of earthquakes in Arizona. And Arizona is not immune to the effects of earthquakes that originate in California, Utah, and Mexico, too.” Quoted from the Arizona Geological Survey’s document repository.
