Scientists say earthquakes in California are a sure sign of a major earthquake that could destroy the entire state.
The California Daily Mail reported that California suffered one week of 134 earthquakes, ranging from 2.5 to 3 on the Richter scale.
Scientists point out that the recorded earthquakes occurred in areas near the most faulty areas of the Earth's crust between the tectonic plates of the Pacific and the tectonic plates of North America. The strongest earthquake in San Francisco recorded a magnitude of 4.6 on the Richter scale.
US geologists believe things are heading for a "long-awaited" devastating earthquake, the consequences of which will be dire, but people are not worried about the "light" earthquakes that hit California, because they consider them a natural part of the seismic activity of the region.
The US-Japan Geophysical Society warned of a massive earthquake caused by the San Andreas fault in the next 30 years. This earthquake will be, according to the scientists, more devastating than the one that struck San Francisco on April 18, 1906.
