California threatened by a mega earthquake!

Geology experts express their concerns about the risks of the earth shake in the State of California. The region had been particularly struck violently in 1989 still lives in the earthquake threat. Since the beginning of 2011, warnings multiply and expert reports on the crumbling office of the competent authorities.

The expression "smoking pot" is used to describe the situation underground of the State of California. Indeed, a study by Scripps Institution of Oceanography shows that all comes down at the Salton Sea, east of San Diego. The latter is located in the heart of the famous San Andreas Fault. To avoid disaster, a dam was installed on the Colorado River.


But then, he has so far prevented the small earthquakes to do too much damage, the pressure has built up. This pressure could well explode and cause the biggest disaster the region have ever known.
