Tiny Earthquakes Reveal Hidden Faults Under Northern California
By tracking swarms of very small earthquakes, seismologists are getting a new picture of the complex region where the San Andreas fault meets the Cascadia subduction zone, an area that could give rise to devastating major earthquakes. The work, by researchers…

California faults are under their highest stress in 1,000 years. This doesn't necessarily mean that the "big one" is coming but it shows that stress is building up in the system Read Full Article #CaliforniaEarthquakes #TectonicStress #BigOneAwareness
🌋 New research indicates Southern California's San Andreas and San Jacinto faults are under the highest stress levels in 1,000 years, increasing the risk of a major earthquake.
🔬 A study published June 3 in the Journal of Geophysical Research, Solid Earth, highlights that a critical fault junction northeast of Los Angeles, Cajon Pass, may play a significant role in the magnitude of the next major quake.
📈 The research utilized computer simulations and geological evidence to model stress accumulation over the past millennium, finding that stress has reached up to 3.6 megapascals (MPa) on the San Jacinto-Bernadino section.

Nuclear tests at Mt. Mantap have reactivated intraplate faults
Underground nuclear explosions typically produce short-lived seismic sequences that decay rapidly after testing ceases. By contrast, seismicity near the Punggye-ri nuclear test site at Mt. Mantap in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has persisted…
