How did geologists determine the west coast of California has a higher earthquake risk then other areas in the US?
Geologists determined that the west coast of California has a higher earthquake risk due to the presence of the San Andreas Fault, which is a major tectonic plate boundary. The high level of tectonic activity along this fault increases the likelihood of large earthquakes in this region compared to other areas in the US. Additionally, historical records of past seismic events and studies of seismic activity have helped geologists assess and quantify the earthquake risk for California.
What is the highest earthquake according to the Richtor Scale?
The highest earthquake ever recorded according to the Richter Scale was the 1960 Valdivia earthquake in Chile, which had a magnitude of 9.5. This earthquake caused widespread devastation and tsunamis that affected areas as far as Japan and the Philippines.
What one of the States in the US has the highest earthquake hazard level?
