SAN DIEGO (KGTV) - A new proposed geological map could spell trouble for San Diego developers.
A new map released by the California Geological Survey fills in the gaps for the Rose Canyon Fault, which runs from La Jolla and splinters downtown through the airport and Seaport Village. The colored zones indicate where an earthquake could happen. Mother Nature got there first and now we have to accommodate for her, Geologist Dr. Pat Abbott said.
He said the fault last moved about 300 years ago, which makes it active by geological standards.
yeah, that s right, shep. because they re separated by three small breaks, scientists have combined the fault lines into one. so the rose canyon fault is integrated. the bigger fault line is more dangerous because different parts could rupture releasing more energy. adding to the danger is part of the fault runs along the coast and part runs through the heart of los angeles. the fault line is also relatively shallow. meaning during a 7.4 quake, the damage may not be as widespread. areas near the quake would be devastated. the only silver lining here is because if fault s location, experts say it would not likely cause a tsunami. the san andres fault has erupted
tough. and they should read old school too. snowflakes are going to love that. finally tonight the tip of the day, as i mentioned, all americans should be skeptical about what they read these days as the truth is elusive. when i saw a new study by the scripps institution of oceanography out of the university of california san diego, i was concerned. the study says a big earthquake could hit out of there at any time, because of the 19-mile rose canyon fault which begins in san diego s mission valley and heads off shore. apparently the new the potential for a big disaster around los angeles exists. but how much potential? is this a warning? or an observation? didn t say in the article.
