The quake comes nearly two weeks after a magnitude-3.7 temblor shook Los Angeles on April 22. That quake came after a series of three earthquakes of 3.0 or higher in a 10-day period.

Los Angeles sits on a number of fault lines and usually gets several small earthquakes each year.

According to the Los Angeles Times, a three-year data sample shows that California and Nevada are hit with an average of 234 earthquakes that have magnitudes between 3.0 and 4.0 per year.

A study released in October from the California Institute of Technology and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory found that the Garlock Fault – which runs east to west for 185 miles from the San Andreas Fault to Death Valley started to move for the first time in 500 years after the series of quakes.

California has the nation's first Earthquake Early Warning System. Ground sensors from across the state detect earthquakes before humans can feel them, giving people warnings seconds before the shaking starts.
