Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated*5.5 Afghanistan ~ Pg 20354 We watched San Andreas again and several questions came up, some I could answer and others well, they are unknown. The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1,300 km (810 miles) through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and its motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal). The fault divides into three segments, each with different characteristics and a different degree of earthquake risk, the most significant being the southern segment, which passes within about 35 miles (56 km) of Los Angeles. [ link to en.wikipedia.org (secure)] They called it the “most dangerous earthquake type in the world.” The strike-slip fault has little to no vertical moment, the rocks sliding horizontally across each other as the earth shifts and pressure is released. San Andreas and Anatolian Faults are strike-slip. Reverse faults thrust two crusts together to push and thrust them on top of each other in a vertical direction, typically creating mountain ranges. Normal faults pull the blocks of crust apart, creating a rift. [ link to ricenorthwestmuseum.org (secure)] First, while reading most of the two links above, it mentions and we have talking about when a quake happens it released pressure. When a quake doesn't happen it builds more and more pressure. The family wanted to know what is keeping the San Andreas from popping off? They said if it hasn't happened and it being over due and all that jazz, then there must be a reason that the pressure isn't building enough to release. Then they wanted to know, because it is a strike-slip quake, which way is the main part of CA going and which way is the ocean side going? That sums up about 3 hours of discussion among the 4 of us with my son actually asking the two main questions above. Told you that kid was odd. Special needs with a lower IQ in most schooling but scores very high in other areas, almost genius levels. Quoting: WhiteAngel Anyone know??? Quoting: WhiteAngel Hello Angel! I dont think anyone really knows to answer the first question: Why the pressure isnt building enough to release? I think the movement is very slow so it takes time to build up the right amount of pressure in order to release it. Eg we know that the north part last released the pressure in 1906 (san fransisco quake), the los angeles area in 1857, but the southern part around Palm Springs hasnt released the pressure for 300 years. So the probability is to see this part hit first but we never know. The second question unless i didnt undestand it, it is supposed that the two sides of the fault collide so it should be a north to south movement, right? I dont think it would be a great displacement. In the ShakeOut senario i think they are more concern about the fires that will break out after the quake and the collapse of bridges and such. Quoting: Ostria1 Thank you for that. You explained it in such a way that all were able to understand better. Much love |

Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Re: Earthquake Thread ~ Always Updated*5.5 Afghanistan ~ Pg 20354 First and foremost the movie is all DRAMA from hollywood and is designed to sell movies with lots of CGI. FIRST Los Angeles is moving towards San Fransisco or the coast is moving north and California is headed south along the coast range or the San Andreas fault. see the arrows at this link: [ link to geology.com] This part explains about the faults movement: How Fast Does It Move? (a couple of inches a year - about the same rate that your fingernails grow) The plates are slowly moving past one another at a couple of inches a year - about the same rate that your fingernails grow. But this is not a steady motion, it is the average motion. For years the plates will be locked with no movement at all as they push against one another. Suddenly the built-up strain breaks the rock along the fault, and the plates slip a few feet all at once. The breaking rock sends out waves in all directions, and it is the waves that we feel as earthquakes. SECOND Geologic History of the San Andreas Fault System : [ link to geomaps.wr.usgs.gov] THIRD California Geology: [ link to www.sanandreasfault.org] The articles answer most all of what you wanted information about. I have lived in California all of my life and an earthquake is not on the top of my list of concerns. Quoting: joinca Thank you for this. We will have a talk again tonight to discuss all this new info. We do know that Hollywood made that as if a 10.0 happened instead of the 7-8 that is more likely. Good, fun drama in my opinion but then I have loved disaster movies since the 1970's. With all the recent info that has been coming out about "a big one coming" not only to the West Coast but also to the New Madrid Fault, the family has just been getting into being "quaketards", lol |
