HONG KONG: Researchers found a new fault line off the coast of San Diego and Los Angeles, which if still active could cause earthquakes of up to 8.0 on the Richter magnitude scale.
According to geologist Mark Legg, lead author of the study, the tsunami hazard is real, although the newly-discovered fault line wasnt particularly active over the past decades.
“That has not been looked at carefully when it comes to the potential for large earthquakes and tsunamis from offshore faults,” says lead author and geologist Mark Legg, who heads a consulting firm in Southern California.
