Magnitude 5.6 - WESTERN MONTANA 2005 July 26 04:08:35 UTC Preliminary Earthquake
Report U.S. Geological Survey, National Earthquake Information Center World Data
Center for Seismology, Denver A moderate earthquake occurred at 04:08:35 (UTC)
on Tuesday, July 26, 2005. The magnitude 5.6 event has been located in WESTERN
MONTANA. (This event has been reviewed by a seismologist.) Magnitude 5.6

Reports Items knocked off shelves at Dillon and Bozeman. Felt (VI) at Dillon and
Twin Bridges; (IV) at Bozeman, Butte, Helena, Missoula and West Yellowstone;
(III) at Billings, Great Falls, Kalispell and Livingston. Felt (IV) at Island
Park and Salmon; (III) at Coeur d'Alene, McCall, Moscow, Rexburg and Sandpoint,
Idaho. Also felt (III) at Pullman and Spokane, Washington and in Yellowstone
National Park, Wyoming. The quake was felt as far away as Seattle, Washington
and Calgary, Alberta. Montana is one of the most seismically active States in
the U.S. Since 1925, the State has experienced five shocks that reached
intensity VIII or greater (Modified Mercalli Scale ). During the same interval,
hundreds of less severe tremors were felt within the State. Montana's earthquake
activity is concentrated mostly in the mountainous western third of the State
which lies within a seismic zone that includes western Montana, southeastern
Idaho, western Wyoming, and central Utah (see Earthquake History of Montana).
There are a variety of fault types represented in this seismic zone. Some faults
clearly show evidence of being the source of many large- magnitude earthquakes
in the past, and some faults do not. East- central Idaho and western Montana is
characterized by long linear mountain ranges with intervening valleys.
Geologically young faults bound most or all of these mountain blocks. Many of
which are capable of producing large-magnitude earthquakes similar to the
largest earthquakes that have occurred historically in the seismic zone (about
magnitude 7.5). Seismologists have not yet determined the causative fault of the
recent earthquake. ZDROJ: USGS
