if you are scared of earthquakes don't go anywhere near the San Andreas fault stretching across California it's not only the world's largest fault but it's also one of the world's most dangerous extending for 1200 km it's split into three sections according to scientists the most southern one which covers Los Angeles may be in trouble very soon in 2006 a famous study found that the San Andrea's fault was due to produce an earthquake with a magnitude of seven or more the problem is that the research believed it will strike Los Angeles thankfully no major earthquake has happened since that study was published and furthermore the US Geological Survey has a somewhat sunnier view in November of 2013 they forecasted that there was a 7% chance that an earthquake of a magnitude 8 or more will occur sometime in the next 30 Years somewhere along the fault line however only time will tell whether or not disaster will strike [Music]
