An earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.
A magnitude 4.2 earthquake shook several densely populated sections of Los Angeles Sunday evening. The U.S geological Survey initially initially reported the quake that is registered magnitude of 3.8 before revising the measurement upward. The agency said the earthquake struck around 7:36 p.m. local time and was centered in Santa Monica Mountains about 4 miles of northwest of Westwood.
An officer at Los Angeles Police Department's West Los Angeles station told The Associated Press that there were no immediate reports of damage. Los Angeles Fire Department spokesman Erik Scott said firefighters who inspected the city's infrastructure found no significant damage.
A USGS website damage for websites for citizen reports of quake was felt from Malibu northwest of Los Angeles down to the Manhattan beach area.
CBS Los Angeles reported that its viewers in Studio Valley, Santa Monica, and Simi Valley on the west side of the city felt the earthquake strongly.
