For decades, scientists have warned that such a sudden shifting of the Earth's crust is inevitable. In fact, it is a geologic necessity. The San Andreas fault runs almost the entire length of California, from the redwood forest to the east edge of the Salton Sea. Along the way, it passes through two of the largest urban areas of the country-- San Francisco and Los Angeles. Dozens of major highways and interstates cross it. Scores of housing developments have been planted over it. The words "San Andreas" are so familiar today that they have become synonymous with earthquake. Yet, few people understand the San Andreas or the network of subsidiary faults it has spawned. Some run through Hollywood, others through Beverly Hills and Santa Monica. The Hayward fault slices the football stadium at the University of California in half. Even among scientists, few appreciate that the San Andreas fault is a transient, evolving system that, as seen today, is younger than the Grand Canyon and key to our understanding of earthquakes worldwide -- $c Source other than Library of Congress. 650 $a Audio cds 650 $a Leased audio cds 650 0 $a Earthquakes $z California 650 0 $a Earthquakes $z California $x History 651 0 $a San Andreas Fault (Calif.) 651 0 $a San Andreas Fault (Calif.) $x History 941 $a 6 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909032711.0 952 $l LAPH975 $d 20200528055152.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508020740.0 952 $l PYAX423 $d 20191001012443.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826090142.0 952 $l CQPE926 $d 20150404014303.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=9187B81EDA9011E4BEC786A7DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
