California earthquake: Big One's coming


GDLA reacts to earthquake happening live
(FOX 11 Los Angeles) Sept. 12, 2024: A preliminary magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck Southern California Thursday morning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. Here's how the Good Day LA (GDLA) crew reacted when it hit live.

the West Coast has seen in over 300 years?

San Andreas fault's weird behavior: The Big One might be close

(Insane Curiosity) Sept. 13, 2024: The San Andreas fault is one of the largest and most important geological faults in the world. Throughout history, it has been the origin of earthquakes that have caused much destruction and have claimed the lives of thousands of people from San Francisco to Los Angeles.

Today, this crack exhibits unusual activity, which some scientists think could indicate the dreaded "Big One" will occur soon. Where and when could this event occur? Let's find out!

What is the San Andreas fault, and how did it originate?
There will be a lot more gold nuggets afterward
This fault is one of the world's most prominent and studied geological features. Why is this geological fault dangerous? The San Andreas fault's influence on California's seismic activity is not limited to the region directly adjacent to it. It is part of a more extensive, complex system of geological faults running through California.

Past earthquakes due to the San Andreas fault
Throughout California's history, the San Andreas fault has been responsible for several major earthquakes, some of which have caused considerable devastation. The deadliest so far was:
  • The 1906 San Francisco earthquake: This shaker occurred on April 18 of that year with an estimated magnitude of 7.9 on the Richter scale.
When and where will The Big One take place?
The region's geological history, combined with the patterns of seismic activity observed in the past, suggests that it is only a matter of time before the San Andreas fault produces another earthquake of great magnitude.
