0San Andreas Fault
The San Andreas Fault, which extends approximately 150 km into the continent, was formed as a result of the gradual displacement of the Pacific Plate relative to the North American Plate.
The catastrophic earthquake in Japan - the most powerful in the entire history of observations in this country - should give pause to America, which may be hit by a disaster of a similar magnitude in the coming years. Frequent tremors of great strength will be observed in all seismically active zones, but a huge earthquake in the coming years could destroy southern California, and its main city and the capital of the world film industry, Los Angeles, could be completely wiped off the face of the earth.
