Complete Headline: Sixty nine major earthquakes hit the Pacific's Ring of Fire in just 48 hours driving fears that the 'Big One' is about to hit California
- Sixteen tremors above magnitude 4.5 shook the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' on Monday
- This followed a cluster of 53 quakes that hit the geological zone on Sunday
- The quakes rattled Indonesia, Bolivia, Japan and Fiji, but failed to reach the US
- Scientists have previously warned California is long overdue a major quake
Fears that a deadly earthquake may soon hit California have emerged after a swarm of quakes rocked one of Earth's major geological disaster zones.
Sixteen 'significant' tremors - those at magnitude 4.5 or above - shook the Pacific 'Ring of Fire' on Monday, following a spate of 53 that hit the region Sunday.
The quakes rattled Indonesia, Bolivia, Japan and Fiji, but failed to reach the western coast of the United States, which also falls along the infamous geological ring.
The tremors have raised concerns that California's 'Big One' - a destructive earthquake of magnitude 8 or greater - may be looming.
Scientists have previously warned that the state, which straddles the huge San Andreas Fault Line, is long overdue a deadly event of this size.

Temperatures have been cooler than now, and warmer than now. They will be warmer than now, and cooler than now in the future. Super volcanoes will erupt, continents will move, and earth will be impacted by large objects in the future just as it has been in the past. wait a minute ... what kind if BS is this? i thought it was all caused by driving SUVs

You are totally correct, in that CHANGE is not an optional thing, it will continue to occur, and mankind has to adapt to survive. Its like talking over a return to the glacier age of 12,900 years ago....sooner or later, it will occur.
Yep, it's just part of living here. Determining when is difficult, but the answer of if, is always yes, it will happen.

OH yeah, because God knows there is no perversion in the other 49 states. What are you some sort of religious lunatic? Why not Washington or Oregon?

You have correctly assessed the situation
Californa is resisting the gradual release. Therefore, the release will be major. The quale will be the Bigg’un.
San Francisco? LA? choices, choices , choices.
