According to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), dozens of small quakes occurred in a few square miles of the state\u0026#39;s Inland Empire on Monday, taking the total since May 25 to 432. Fortunately, the quakes were not powerful. In fact, only a handful were strong enough to be felt by people in the area. While the exact cause of the recent swarm has not yet been identified, experts say events such as this are not unusual in the area due to the presence of active fault lines. \u003Cstrong\u003E\u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.eas.gatech.edu\/newman-dr-andrew\u0022\u003EAndrew\u0026nbsp;Newman\u003C\/a\u003E\u003C\/strong\u003E, a geophysicist at\u0026nbsp;Georgia Institute of Technology, told CNN that these kinds of swarms do not tend to be indicators of larger, more powerful quake events.
