Everything You Know About San Andreas Is Wrong | Here's What Scientists Fear

#SanAndreas #Earthquake #California Can California fall into the ocean? No... the San Andreas is a strike slip fault where two plates slide past each other horizontally... Los Angeles is actually moving toward San Francisco at about two inches per year. Can San Andreas produce a magnitude 9? No... the fault's vertical geometry caps it around magnitude 8.2... only subduction zones like Cascadia can produce magnitude 9 earthquakes. What do scientists actually fear? The southern San Andreas has been silent for over 340 years... the longest loaded gap anywhere on the fault... and it points directly at the aqueducts, fuel lines, and freeways that keep 20 million people alive... nearly all of which cross the fault at the Cajon Pass. Which city is really at risk? Not San Francisco... the loaded southern section runs practically through San Bernardino and the Inland Empire. In this video we kill the three biggest San Andreas myths with real physics... walk through the official magnitude 7.8 scenario minute by minute... and reveal the pinch point in the mountains that emergency planners fear most. The ground beneath America is speaking. EPICENTER is listening. Subscribe... because next we cover California's hidden supervolcano... and the evacuation road the government renamed to avoid panic. #TheBigOne #SanAndreasFault #LosAngeles #Geology #America
