San Andreas Fault Weird Behavior: The Big One Might Be Close

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.
Today, this place exhibits unusual activity, which some scientists think could indicate the dreaded "Big One" will occur soon.
Where and when could this event occur?
Stay with us to find out!
What is the San Andreas fault, and how did it originate?
The San Andreas 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 this. Still, it is also 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. Some of the most important were:
1906 San Francisco earthquake: This earthquake occurred on April 18 of that year and had 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.

I was 10 years old in 5th grade science camp near Loma Prieta, CA, the 1989 earthquake struck. I was walking through the redwood trees to the girls restroom when the earthquake struck. I can remember our camp leaders, screaming and running around, trying to cover us from falling branches, i could see the swimming, pool down the hill with waves like the ocean. It was amazing! Needless to say we were stuck there for a day or two until parents could get through Highway 17 to pick us up.

Whenever news agencies in California cover these recent quakes I see a bunch of ignorant comments from people saying stuff like small quakes release tension or “these happen all the time”. This generation is in for a very rude awakening…

I'm 64 years old and grew up in socal hearing about the big one. Could happen tomorrow or a hundred years from now. Who knows

The San Andreas is like a Jenga game. Each shake is one step from the whole thing exploding into the BIG ONE

Don’t be scared, be prepared! Much love everyone ❤ 🌎 ❤️ 🌍 ❤️ 🌏 ❤️

The point that most people fail to understand is that in geologic time, our current lifetimes, in years, is like a grain of sane on all the beaches in all the world.
For 10 years, I used to teach the F.E.M.A./C.E.R.T. curriculum for "disaster preparedness" with my wife. It will surprise no one that most of the citizens in areas like San Diego haven't a nodding acquaintance about just how deadly this next "big one" will be.

Andrea Donnellen is a geophysicist with JPL/NASA. She has a most startling hypothesis about how the Southern California area will respond to a 7.8 'quake in the Salton Sea area.

Check this out...

"The Southern California San Andreas Fault ruptures about every 130 to 350 years, on average. We are looong overdue. The southern part of the San Andreas has the potential of moving the Salton Seas' easterly coastline 20' to the southeast, when the next rupture occurs on the fault."

Prayers for everyone that live in the disaster zone areas worldwide. 🌏🙏❤

This current 4.7 was a mile from my home. Very very crazy ride it was.
Wouldn't want any larger than that.
I have a train layout in my garage and a few items got thrown onto the garage floor. Lucky that nothing inside the got thrown onto the floor.
We all got very lucky during this quake.
God bless everyone
God bless America
Thank you to all of our arm forces, police department and firefighters, doctors and nurses.
I personally want to thank you for your service and dedication

With all the small earthquakes in the LA area, a big one is indeed near.

[feanacar]

Don’t let these videos scare you.
I’ve been through Northridge and Loma Prieta.
There’s nothing you can do about it other than be prepared. And most of these videos are made for sensationalism.

Dutchsense channel does a great job at "forecasting earthquakes".

[meatheathen]

We are in the middle of a pole shift. Things will get bumpy...buckle up

Native Californian here have been through 5 over 6.9 quakes, this is life in California, I remember in school we were always talking about the big one and California falling into the ocean, I remember someone predicted it one time don't remember the date but I do remember the time that was published and the whole neighborhood was sitting out in their yards in chairs at 3: 15 in the afternoon waiting for it to happen. Yep that is life growing up in California.

Riverside here. Main concern is ruptured gas and water lines.

Everyone is so worried about the San Andreas fault, but it's not deep enough to produce this massive quake. I think everyone should really worry about the Cascadia subduction zone, because that actually can and history has shown every 300-400 years, it does just that.

[richardsanchez]

I wonder if the fault is pushing up minerals like diamonds, emeralds, and gold! The fault line Would be a cool hike to look and see.

[rickbarajas]

It's been 30 years since the Northridge earth quake. I think we are due 😮

[rockabye_baby]

I kept saying the same thing. It's building up. Just like Yellowstone for the volcano. Westcoast ain't ready.

I live in Santa Monica California (Los Angeles County) used to live in San Francisco. My house is new and built to current earthquake codes for California and the office I work in has been retrofitted to current California earthquake codes. I have a storm shelter with a month’s worth of food and supplies in the case of an actual earthquake emergency.

I forgot to add the biggest earthquake I was in: Loma Prieta in San Francisco October 17th 1989. I was at the A’s-Giants World Series game! 15 seconds of pure adrenaline and fear! I’m glad I wasn’t on the Bay Bridge and especially not on the Cypress Expressway!
