The phenomenon, which one scientist said had never been observed before, is called the Pythia Oasis, and is part of the Cascadia Subduction Zone (CSZ), which is a large fault line that runs from Vancouver Island on Canada’s west coast down to Northern California.
Scientists’ fears are well-founded, because California has the San Andreas Fault, also known as the San Andreas Fault, which has been a scourge for Californians for hundreds of years.
The San Andreas Fault is a shear fault that has a length of 1,300 km. This fault forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
The San Andreas Fault was first discovered in North California by geology professor, Berkeley Andrew Lawson, in 1895.
However, after a 7.9 magnitude earthquake rocked San Francisco on Wednesday, April 18, 1906, Lawson discovered that the San Andreas Fault actually stretched all the way to South California.
Predictions after predictions have been made by scientists. They estimate that this fault is capable of releasing earthquake shock energy with a strength of more than 8 SR.
But new research has found a new fault that is more dangerous than the San Andreas Fault, namely the Hayward Fault which is under the East Bay, United States.
The Hayward Fault is considered very dangerous because it passes through several densely populated areas in the Bay Area, United States, which stretches along the East Bay from San Pablo Bay through Berkeley, Oakland, Hayward, Fremont, to Milpitas.
