Forget about "The Big One"...

Could a small quake trigger a Southern California catastrophe?

1. You know the map...

2. And Cayce's prediction..

3. You may also be familiar with the hydroplate theory.
If not, start here...

4. A simple theory:
Water and earth trade places. This can happen either two ways.
One, the water comes from the ocean*, or two, the water comes
from under the earth's crust, somewhere trapped in the upper
mantle (see video above ~ hydroplate theory).
*(ocean source could come from crack connecting to the California Gulf)

The trigger: a small quake, perhaps a 2.6, at the right depth,
moves just enough earth, that it "springs a leak". Or perhaps it's a
series of quakes ~ a swarm. A constant attrition that produces the
same outcome: a crack, and then a leak.

The equalization: water bursts forth.
Picture the Salton Sea and Death Valley. The land at sea level, or below,
the breach would occur under low lying land such as these.

As the water rushes to the surface it fills these "sinks" first.
Then as the weight of the water increases upon the land...
it sinks and crumbles allowing more displacement. It spreads.

Not unlike a sinkhole, water and earth change places. The water
continues to seek the least path of resistance, filling up low lying
land until it finds equilibrium.

The outcome: a picture that closely resembles the notorious "Navy Map".


3 weak spots to watch:
Ridgecrest (just north of and into Death Valley)
The Salton Sea (Brawley and Coachella Valley)
Walker Lake (south of Hawthorne)

Even up into Salt Lake. One commonality: all high in salinity.
