Love your geology documentaries! Nice work mate!

Very interesting. The consequences of that quake would be disastrous. I’m living safely in South Australia which is mildly(hopefully) seismically active. The mid north of the state is more active and has scale 2 or 3 rumbles quite regularly. The area is sparsely populated so it doesn’t cause any widespread panic. However, my wife and I are planning a holiday in the area in a few months time. I’ve noticed a couple of small recent quakes in the area. I haven’t told my wife because she has an irrational fear of earthquakes. 😊.

Juan De Fuca Plate - sounds like a Mexican Restaurant dish.

Gee I always pictured it as so much bigger .

Good content. Interesting and educational! Thanks

That is due to the region they call the Geysers...multiple power plants at CalPine ...they produce power from recycling cold water to injecting it deep into the fractures, steam....that is the cause...except the 1969 SANTA ROSA QUAKE ..it was caused from Majorbreakage along the ROGERS CREEK faulg...now yhey say that its all a single connection from the Hayward fault and a connection 😂with ROGERS Where it ties itself thru the MayacMa faults...its goi ng to prove a few ppl wrong. Potential is way above a 7.0

I heard that California may fall into the ocean someday because of this fault.

I feel sad for the people because it’s not their fault.

10:19 I felt more earthquakes in Sonoma County than other parts of California.

Can you explain BLM land and how we can learn that info. I am 1 week old in the rockhound hobby. Always took home pretty rocks but i love having more kmowledge of them.

Well since it's a slip strike fault it's never under huge amounts of tension so the "Big One" will probably never happen. maybe at worst a mag 5 or 6. If you want to experience the "Big One you need to come up north to the PNW where the Juan de Fuca plate is subducting and dragging the North American plate down with it creating enormous amounts of tension. and when that tension get released and the lip of the North American Plate rapidly moves up. that's where the "Big One" will be. the one that reaches mag 9. The one that will wipe out the coast with a tsunami.

I hope the locals are somewhat prepared just in case!!!

So glad I found this channel! The demonstration of the slippage with that fence was, just, wow! I'm in Scotland and the area you visited could double for the Scottish countryside (insert obligatory weather joke).

Love your descriptive video of these beautiful sites! Thanks for putting this together for us to appreciate Nevada. No thanks to Vegas, yes to the mountains! 😊

Magnificent 😮

Memorial Stadium at Cal-Berkeley sits right on the Hayward fault.

7.3 and7.1

You obviously forgot 1992 landers earthquake not one but two landers and big bear

i wanna marry this guy and go on adventures. i have lived in las vegas for 3 years and i'm so glad that i found your channel; but most of all, i dig geology and you are fun to watch.

Juan De Fuca - sounds like a Mexican dish that would require some antacid... Another great video.

Very beautiful place, I grew up at the base of the mountain. The only drawback is access is limited because of private property.

The coolest SOA video to date!!

I know I'm not the only American who will be happy when he gets woken up by "The Big One." Alot of our problem "people" will just drift into the ocean. ❤

u need a SW UV for that scheelite

ITS NOT YOUR FAULT ITS NOT YOUR FAULT!

I enjoy your funny comments. You make great videos! Excellent!

Thanks for the video Solomon always an interesting video.

Dude if you hit northern washington , I'd love to link up💪 I used to live in Vegas and moved to washington but love the videos and think it'd be sick to go rockhound and learn a thing or two 💪

fun with sag ponds

They have also said the same of its cousin the Hayward fault which runs under the densely populated Eastbay!

Oh! This is why they say that California will break off & fall into the ocean! Well better get a boat because I live on the beach. 😱

One of the first rocks I collected was garnet 55 years ago cool

cobalt ? where is the erythrite ? its all green round that black mineral . know your minerals !

Sun Ndreas tektonik

Squirrel !!!

Its visible in tilden park golf course,Berkeley CA

Like the deer…this was soooo interesting.

The areas of land can only slide past one another up until it builds up pressure on the shear line.......the land acts like a compressable spring and can cause big eruptions when the land lets loose and that happens where the fault lines change angles

New Madrid fault line is a bigger threat. 11 million people live within the NMSZ, and current estimates are that a 7.6 would kill 2 to 5% of this population. Conversely, current predictions say San Andreas SZ experiencing a 7.8 produces a death toll around 1,800. Toss in the fact that NMSZ has actually had an 8.2 quake, and even a 7.0 would re-route the Mississippi river (critical transport route), it's FAR more impactful. Add in the current estimates that an 8.0 in the next 50 years carries a 10% probability, and the situation is clear: Americans need to get educated about the New Madrid Seismic Zone.

Nice vid man. You really inspired me to want to check out this spot. Even if only to enjoy a nice sunset. Rock on!🤟

I’ve lived in LA all my life. The “big one” will hit within 20 years, I’m 55 and it hasn’t happened yet.

5:20 I'm really surprised he didn't mention the 1994 Northridge earthquake, which was a 6.7 magnitude.

Thanks for this expiation and tour. I thought there were spots on the fault where you could actually see a crevasse or a hole...

I live in Palmdale. Visiting a friend's new home. They had a bazaarly long front yard and almost no backyard. Ii asked why. THE SAN ANDREAS FAULT runs directly under their front yard! I don't know what idiot thought to just put the house 200' off the fault would make everything just fine!

This is not the most dangerous fault line. The cascadian fault line way worse in Washington

Back in the 80s we built homes in highland ca near San Bernardino. The fault ran behin us and we would drink beer sitting on the bank

When you hovered on the squirrel I was expecting it to look up, run off and the ground start shaking

What you and most others investigating the San Andreas Fault fail to address is that the North American landmass broke away from it's connection to the Eurasian landmass and has been traveling westward until it is now backed up against the fault and leaving the eastern plate boundary deep in the Atlantic Ocean (described as "sea floor spreading"). Californians and everyone living around the Pacific "ring of fire" are in great danger when this next continental movement takes place. The most severe danger will be mega-tsunamis of many hundreds of feet deep. According to those of us who God has shown this catastrophe through OBEs and NDEs, it will be coming soon.

I had a black tourmaline crystal I found on a mine dump and 2 tiny blue sapphire crystals.

Exposed amethyst will 'bleach' out in the Sun. I have (or had) a nice amethyst agate I found on the shore of Lake Superior, really dark purple. There's a lot of iron deposition in many areas.
