Faulds is Nevada’s state geologist and director at the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology, and he has spent years looking into the impact that plate tectonics will have on our area.
“Some of the major faults in western Nevada could reorganize themselves into becoming the major plate boundary.”
Faulds says the course of 8 to 10 million years, plate movement will essentially result in the gulf of California extending all the way to northern Nevada, along a zone known as the Walker Lane, which runs along the land where you will currently find U.S. 395.

well, perhaps the first cartographers were right about California being an island...

maybe we can break it off quicker??????
And tip it over like Guam.
and thus the root of the joke about selling beach front property in Yuma Arizona I guess...
Is that why Mister Johnson doesn’t live in Leftafornia? Ol’ Hank is smarter than the average demon rat don’tchaknow.
I don’t know much about plate tectonics but even as a child I could look at a map of the world and see that the various continents fit together like a jigsaw puzzle.
The possibility is high, it would run right through the china lake area where we are still seeing quite a bit of daily activity since the big one there. More frequent activity than anywhere else in Ca or Nevada.

considering that geologists have long suspected that North America is rifting apart along the upper Rio Grande (NM) this would make sense.
Same here.
HAHA!!!!!!!!!!
North Idaho where I live used to be the western shore of N. America until Washington and Oregon showed up.
I was not aware that it has kept up its tremors.
That guy claims usgs doesn’t label US faults. I see them. He must be doing something wrong.
He is entertaining though. Reminds me a bit of the late Dr. Gene Scott.
Maybe mixed with the fictional Alan Krumwiede.
Tremors was set in Nevada, after all...
Faults should be shown on maps as dotted lines...
It’s been rocking and rolling everyday, sometimes several times a day since the major one.
If one goes to his youtube channel, he has a video on
“7/04/2019 — HOW TO FORECAST AN EARTHQUAKE — Fundamental principles”. Quite interesting, the information begins at minute 1:00.

Walker Lane? I’ve heard of Walker Hill and Walking Street but.. Oh well.. Live and learn. California will remain split regardless. Vegas will be a few miles closer.
