SoCal ping

[Ditter]

Yes, raising taxes and electing Hillary. She will know how to spend all that money to keep you safe!

[Lazamataz]

I am so screwed.

[VideoDoctor]

One day soon they’ll all be surfin’ off the Arizona coast.

Then you’ll at least die happy......................

[Red Badger]

I was including those as well. Massive amounts of weight redistribution like a tire out of balance....................

[Red Badger]

If stuck, when the stress builds up beyond the friction, then there will be shaking and perhaps a massive jolt as the south side breaks loose and quickly rises.

Or moves laterally several feet. It has happened before........................

I know you’re being facetious but I did a quick look-up anyway.

The total weight of human civilization including all people and all things built by people (97% of which is concrete and steel):

125 billion tons

Total weight of planet earth:

6 trillion billion tons

The earth is 48 billion times heavier than the total weight of human civilization.

Question to anyone who may want to answer this. Should the movement of the fault line cause some serious disturbance is there a chance that it may affect Yellowstone. I hope note, as if Yellowstone should become airborne it could affect a good portion of the US.

[Justa]

Yeah, my money’s on Yellowstone. I don’t believe the ‘magma five miles below’ story for a minute. Not when forests are dying from the heat, roads are melting and many areas are now off limits.

The constant uplift and subsidence in different areas of the park indicates magma much closer to the surface. The magma rises up, contacts solid rock pushing it up. As the rock melts it adds volume to the magma chamber reducing the upward pressure on the rock. The result is the ground subsides until the magma fills in the space added by the melted rock to start the uplift again.

IMO the magma is much closer to the surface than they’re admitting.

Subduction leads to Orogeny!
