We've passed the 100-year mark since a massive earthquake on the northern part of the San Andreas Fault. In 1906, an earthquake in San Francisco killed 3,000 people and caused fires that burned ...

This happened with devastating consequences in the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, a 7.9 magnitude quake in the northern section of the fault that claimed the lives of over 3,000 people.

But the San Andreas Fault has about 150 miles (241 km) of slip between either side, meaning that volcanic rocks in Pinnacles National Park match those much farther south, in Los Angeles County.

But actually it’s the primary part of the fault,” she said. The San Andreas fault runs 800 miles up the backbone of California and marks the boundary where two major tectonic plates meet.

As such, recent predictions limit the possible maximum earthquake magnitude along the San Andreas fault system to 8.0, although with a 7 percent probability estimate that such an event could occur ...
