🔮 While the recent earthquakes have been relatively small, they come as scientists continue to warn that California’s major fault systems are capable of producing far more powerful earthquakes.
Caltech seismologist Dr. Lucy Jones has modeled a magnitude-7.8 rupture along the southern San Andreas Fault, a scenario that could produce prolonged, destructive shaking across Southern California and severely disrupt transportation and critical infrastructure.
Research from the University of Bern has also examined seismic stress around the Cajon Pass, where the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults meet. mixed
