Damage to the earth’s crust from the magnitude 6.4 and 7.1 earthquakes that struck Southern California last week is visible in a kaleidoscopic satellite image released by NASA.
The Advanced Rapid Imaging and Analysis team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena used satellite data to produce a map showing ruptures and displacements not visible to the naked eye — employing technology that has been developed over the last quarter of a century. The imagery was acquired on July 8 and compared with data from April 8.
The earthquakes were the largest to hit California in nearly 20 years and were felt as far away as Phoenix and Mexicali, Mexico.

California has been mostly, “rainbow” for some time. Now we have proof.

The weight of all the new illegal migrants into California is causing stress on the earth’s crust. The earthquakes are the Earth’s protest.

We need to raise taxes so we can stop earthquakes from harming the crust!
Be quiet now. Do give them any whacko ideas that will cost us more tax $’s.
They are pushing for an early warning system for the state to warn us about an impending/happening earth quake that would cost a fortune to warn us a few seconds ahead of the quake.
You might have time to KISSYA goodbye!

A bit north of the Krakatoa region in the ring of fire...about 7 miles east of an active volcano.
You’re correct. Life IS sweet. (Until it’s not)

“Not exactly.”
Close enough - it’s the crust moving in response to the motion of the underneath magma... and possibly tidal forces.
