San Andreas fault at highest stress level in 1,000 years

San Andreas Fault stress hits 1,000-year high, raising quake risk

Scientists say the San Andreas and San Jacinto faults are more stressed than at any time in 1,000 years, raising questions about future California quakes.

Southern California faults hit a 1,000-year stress peak, scientists say the Big One is overdue

New research suggests the potential for earthquakes is intensifying on Southern California's San Andreas and San Jacinto faults, where tectonic stress has risen to its highest level in roughly 1,000 years. Scientists are not saying they can predict when the next big earthquake will hit, but they are warning that the region's seismic risk is becoming harder to ignore. What's happening? In a study released June 3, researchers reported unusually hi…

The San Andreas Fault Is Under More Stress Than Ever Before

Is The Big One round the corner? It all comes down to Cajon Pass.

San Andreas fault at highest stress level in 1,000 years

Researchers report that tectonic stress on the major San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems has climbed to its highest levels in a millennium, and in some sections has already surpassed them.
