San Andreas and North Anatolian Faults linked
Recent studies suggest a concerning synchronization between the San Andreas Fault in California and the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey, heightening the potential for simultaneous or cascading earthquakes. This alignment could significantly amplify seismic impacts, posing a grave threat to millions of people and critical infrastructure. Scientists are employing advanced monitoring techniques to meticulously track stress patterns along these faults, aiming to enhance the accuracy of earthquake predictions.
