Scientists warn of potential US fault earthquake

Scientists have found evidence that a section of the San Andreas Fault in Northern California has been slipping faster and more steadily over the past 10,000 years than previously thought. This discovery could influence earthquake hazard assessments by suggesting the fault may release strain more frequently, although it does not predict an imminent major earthquake. The research enhances understanding of the fault's long-term behavior, which is vital for improving earthquake preparedness and infrastructure safety.
