Researchers say that several long faults could cause magnitude 8.0 quakes and tsunamis within 90 miles (145km) of the coast.
'We're dealing with continental collision,' said geologist Mark Legg of Legg Geophysical in Huntington Beach, California, regarding the cause of the offshore danger.
'That's fundamental. That's why we have this mess of a complicated logjam.'
The logjam Legg referred to is composed of blocks of the Earth's crust caught in the ongoing tectonic battle between the North American tectonic plate and the Pacific plate. The blocks are wedged together all the way from the San Andreas Fault on the east, to the edge of the continental shelf on the west, from 90 to 125 miles (150 to 200km) offshore.
These chunks of crust get squeezed and rotated as the Pacific plate slides northwest, away from California, relative to the North American plate.
The mostly underwater part of this region is called the California Continental Borderland, and includes the Channel Islands.

All caused by Global Warming
Rick Wiles of Trunews had a lady on his show (5/7/15, 5/8/15), Mina Lee Grebin, who had a dream revealing a massive CA earthquake in September 2015 among other things.
Pretty big (7.8 or more) earthquake off Japan a few hours ago. No tsunami anticipated.
Those of us who have lived in California all our lives know this. We know of the offshore faults and the potential of Tsunamis. yes it can happen, but we can’t spend our who lives worrying about it. And, I don’t have property in a low lying coastal area. I find that irresponsible and illogical. Even the Native Americans that lives here years ago lived inland.
—waiting for someone to blame it on global warming—
I wonder what the LA TIMES Quakebot...is reporting..
its tow false positives in the last 24 hours have been....fun
Could be that the surfers in California will get a chance to “Hang Ten” all at the same time. Kowabunga!!!
We at some point will have someone come across on a ship with a nuke and blow it just miles from shore.
Worse effect than blowing one in Los Angeles, damage up and down the coast with massive radiation and giant waves destroying things up and down the coast.
Probable worse than an 8.
This article appearing at this time has to be part of the publicity/marketing campaign for the movie “San Andreas.”
The biggest nuke blast ever (Tsar Bomba), bigger than any likely these days, was less than 5.5 magnitude.
While this is a threat, an even bigger one is the subduction zone off the coast of Oregon and Washington. It’s that subduction that created all those volcanoes in the Cascade Mountains and why the coastline of Oregon and Washington are threatened by tsunamis the same way the coasts of Japan are.
yes the correlation does appear to be a tad suspect...
My point was the blast, radiation and damage is much worse going off in a ship a few miles out and very easy for anyone buying a nuke to do.
Heck, these days they can even autopilot the ship into our shores.
That is a very real and possibly harder thing to get over.
But after reading this information again it seriously makes me wonder if I should look into a small Vegas family vacation home in case of a major disaster. Tried 4 years ago and made 4 offers when they were going from $30,000 to $58,000 for what would be a $350,000 Los Angeles home.
And Texas hydraulic fracturing.
It is overtly so.
Prof. Claims Global Warming Caused Nepal’s Earthquakes
http://dailycaller.com/2015/04/27/prof-claims-global-warming-caused-nepals-earthquakes/
People reassured about Iran’s lack of nuke delivery systems are delusional. A few even primitive nukes in cargo ships in the ports of New York, Louisiana and Long Beach would do unimaginable damage.
