A minor, 3.5-magnitude earthquake struck in Southern California on Saturday, according to the United States Geological Survey.

The temblor happened at 6:30 a.m. Pacific time about 7 miles northwest of Malibu, Calif., data from the agency shows.

As seismologists review available data, they may revise the earthquake’s reported magnitude. Additional information collected about the earthquake may also prompt U.S.G.S. scientists to update the shake-severity map.

An aftershock is usually a smaller earthquake that follows a larger one in the same general area. Aftershocks are typically minor adjustments along the portion of a fault that slipped at the time of the initial earthquake.

When aftershock data is available, the corresponding maps and charts include earthquakes within 100 miles and seven days of the initial quake. All times above are Pacific time. Shake data is as of Saturday, Feb. 15 at 10:32 a.m. Eastern. Aftershocks data is as of Saturday, Feb. 15 at 11 a.m. Eastern.
