and strike-slip faults. To the northern edge lies the Sierra Madre-Cucamonga thrust fault system. To the north and east are the San Jacinto and San Andreas right-lateral strike-slip fault systems. Studies have shown that California’s earthquake zones are more complex and lethal than once thought. Southern California lies on four major faults: San Andreas‚ San Jacinto‚ Sierra Madre‚ and the Cucamonga fault. The San Jacinto and San Andreas faults are right-lateral strike-slip fault systems; the two

(Housner) The buildings would not shake violently as the film depicts‚ but are engineered and built to sway slowly with the quakes. Outside of California‚ the Hoover dam would also fare much better than the film depicts. The film gives us an unknown fault line destroying the dam in a spectacular explosion like collapse. First of all‚ structurally the dam can and does hold up to earthquakes. (Sasaki‚ Uesaka and Nagayama) Even if there were a direct significant earthquake that hit the dam‚ it would crack

study of the geological data suggested that the two events occurred as a result of the reactivation of an existing fault. However‚ due to unavailability of detailed scientific data it was almost impossible to confirm that the well was sunk directly into the fault plain‚ and more difficult to infer that hydraulic fracturing caused the pressure changes that stimulated a distant fault causing it to slip. Further geomechanical analysis suggested that bedding planes in the Bowland Shale are so weak that

The National Geophysical Data Centre places the hypocenters geographical whereabouts in an area proximity to the San Andreas Fault but this didn’t cause the actual incident but actually happened because of an undiscovered blind thrust fault.
