A recent study suggests that the risk of a magnitude 9 earthquake on the West Coast of the U.S. has increased, given evidence that such a quake in the Cascadia subduction zone could quickly trigger a second major earthquake on the San Andreas Fault, in a devastating chain reaction for the entire region.

Nova studija upozorava da bi Kaliforniju mogli pogoditi katastrofalni potresi zbog visokih razina tektonskog naprezanja na rasjedima San Andreas i San Jacinto, s posebnim naglaskom na područje Cajon Pass, što može dovesti do širenja potresa između ovih sustava. #Kalifornija #potres #SanAndreas
JAV ir Europos mokslininkai įspėja, kad Pietų Kalifornijos lūžių segmentai, tokie kaip San Andreaso ir San Chasinto, yra kritinėje būklėje dėl didelio tektoninio slėgio, kuris gali kelti pavojų regionui, įskaitant Los Andželą, nes pastarasis didelis žemės drebėjimas įvyko prieš daugiau nei 160 metų. #Kalifornija #ŽemėsDrebėjimas #SanAndreas
Die Spannungen entlang der San-Andreas- und San-Jacinto-Verwerfung in Südkalifornien haben ein Rekordniveau erreicht, was die Gefahr eines schweren Erdbebens in der Region erhöht. #Erdbeben #Südkalifornien #SanAndreasVerwerfung
A study conducted by researchers at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa reveals that the San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems in Southern California have reached their highest tectonic stress levels in a millennium, indicating a potential for devastating earthquakes, particularly if both faults were to rupture simultaneously. #SanAndreasFault #EarthquakeRisk #TectonicStress
