The rumbling, which comes from under the Salton Sea, started
Monday morning. Also, more than 200 earthquakes had been recorded. It is
occurred in California, where the mighty San Andreas Fault ends. The
earthquakes hit in a populated area. Luckily, no deaths were reported.
The San Andrea Fault’s southernmost stretch has not ruptured
for 330 years; meanwhile a big earthquake is occurring each every 150 or 200
years here. Based on the US geological Survey, over the next seven days, the
chances of a magnitude 7 or greater earthquake being triggered on the Southern
San Andreas were as high as 1 in 1000 and as low as 1 in 3000. The biggest
earthquakes hit later that morning and at night, a 4.3 twice followed by a 4.1.
The earthquakes usually happen in California. Consequently,
the government can prepare well for the civilian, so that when the earthquakes
come, they will be more ready. A big earthquake not only can kill people, but
also can damage buildings or public facilities.
