Researchers from the US and Switzerland revealed that the San Andreas Fault has reached its highest levels of stress in 1,000 years - adding that it has been more than 160 years since the giant crack in the Earth's crust had a major release of energy . The San Andreas is an 800-mile-long fault line which runs under most of California, passing by Los Angeles in the south and San Francisco in the north and connecting to several other major faults, most notably the San Jacinto Fault near Los Angeles. This connection is where researcher Liliane Burkhard from the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa said seismic stress has become so great at the southern end of the San Andreas that a rupture could travel along both fault lines - resulting in a mega quake .
The bubbling, stinking mud pool that could cause chaos at the San Andreas fault
California's largest lake, the Salton Sea, was created by accident in 1905 and was transformed into a vacation location by developers who built up the shoreline with resorts, hotels, yacht clubs and more. By the 1950s, thousands flocked to vacation there, including celebrities like Frank Sinatra and The Beach Boys. At one point, it was the most visited destination in the state - beating out Yosemite National Park. During the 1950s and 60s, celebrities flocked to the area to kick back and relax with some fun in the sun for vacations. Eventually, developers and officials saw an opportunity to bring tourism to the area so they began building fancy properties and yacht clubs around the Salton Sea.
Could this building protect you from the 'Big One'? Six-story steel frame stays perfectly intact after 6.7 magnitude earthquake tests
Scientists believe its only a matter of time before a devastating earthquake hits southern California. The'Big One', expected to be triggered by the San Andreas fault, could leave thousands dead or displaced. Now, scientists are preparing for the worst - and the latest defence is a steel frame building that experts believe could withstand a major tremor. Researchers at the University of California in San Diego rocked and rattled a six-story steel frame building on a giant shake table to see how the structure would withstand major earthquakes. The shaking simulated an earthquake of the 6.7 magnitude that occurred in 1994 in Los Angeles, causing significant damage.
