CASCADIA FAULT COULD TRIGGER EARTHQUAKES ON SAN ANDREAS WITH 'NO SEPARATION IN TIME,' SCIENTISTS CLAIM

The Cascadia and San Andreas Faults may be linked, with earthquakes on one triggering events in the other "with minimal or no separation in time," scientists have said.

Chris Goldfinger and Joel Gutierrez, from Oregon State University, say their evidence showing a relationship between the two goes back almost 3,000 years.

The controversial findings, which have not yet been published, will be presented at the American Geophysical Union fall meeting in San Francisco on Friday.

The San Andreas Fault forms part of the tectonic boundary between the Pacific and North American Plate. It stretches about 750 miles along the east coast and has the potential to produce major earthquakes.

Ads by scrollerads.com It is one of the most dangerous faults in the U.S. as it is lined by heavily populated areas, including the cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and San Diego.

Because there has not been a large earthquake at San Andreas for over 100 years, experts are concerned it could be due one relatively soon.

They are different types of faults.
Highly unlikely.

[Vaquero]

Won’t the human feces in the streets buffer the effects of the earthquake ??

[SaveFerris]

Everyone knows earthquakes are caused by Global Warming (TM).

Dr. Joy Behar of “The View” told us so. She’s so smart.

[Leep]

And gorgeous,too!

I thought Goldfinger was into irradiating the gold supply. Triggering earthquakes was Zorin’s deal.

Of definitely!!!

That's odd...when did it move 3,000 miles east? What have I crossed many times in the Santa Cruz Mountains?

[I want the USA back]

Oh, so half of California just might break off and slide into the ocean! So what’s the problem?

Really the east coast?

Don't waste your time clicking, folks.

Evidence (from the article):

"The San Andreas Fault forms part of the tectonic boundary between the Pacific and North American Plate. It stretches about 750 miles along the east coast and has the potential to produce major earthquakes."

LOL! And it’s Newsweek too. Wow..

[SaveFerris]

[It stretches about 750 miles along the east coast...]

NewsWEAK is busy trying to bring down the President.

They ain’t got no time for fact-checkers. Dey ain’t got time for dat!

[hal ogen]

Yet another reason to impeach president Trump.

[Bratch]

It would just take a well placed nuclear device...

...right about....

HERE!

Is this Hannah? Her next story will be "When East Meets West"

[SaveFerris]

Gene Hackman blowed up the San Andreas Fault and it landed on the East Coast!!

Could
May
Might
Possible

Give me some more money to study it.

Hey, that looks familiar! I think I was on that trail back in March of last year. You know, when we came to visit for the Ann Coulter thing.

You should also have a picture of Page Mill Road where it crosses the fault and they are constantly repaving it!
