Seismologists Warn of Possible Big One in California
Seismologists are warning of the possibility of a major earthquake in California, known as the Big One. Recent tremors off the coast of Northern California have raised concerns among experts.
An interlocutor from USGS, Sarah Minson, emphasized that there is a high likelihood that the earthquake could leave San Francisco in ruins by 2055. She also noted that the probability of such a disaster occurring within the next 30 years is increasing - exceeding 70%. According to her opinion, it could happen as soon as 2032.
In particular, there is great concern about the San Andreas Fault, which runs through the San Francisco Bay over 1300 kilometers. History has already seen examples of catastrophic consequences of major earthquakes for this region, so warnings from experts should be taken seriously.
The warnings from seismologists about a possible Big One in California pose a serious threat to residents and infrastructure in the region. Recent tremors in Northern California are a troubling signal that must be considered in preparation for potential danger.
