that may be the case. there is a quadruo of faults that cause major eruptions one after another in a cycle: chile, New Zealand, japan then California on the san andreas fault. geologists predict that that fault will erupt soon and unlike yellowstone, they arent saying it wont be in our life time. this quadruo are locations which cause major earthquakes. scientsts are predicting the next san andreas earthquake will be around magnitude 9.0 out of 10. this major earthquake could be felt in wyoming, which could possibly trigger an eruption 5% chance. but that eruption wont be ull scale since the earthquake wont hit as hard there. the large eruption will occur naturally and has nothing to to with the earthquake. but there are two other supervolcaoes in North America wand are closer to the falt. long valley in california and velles caldera in mexico. the chance of the earthquake triggering an eruption fom long valley is 65% in valles caldera 40%.

Can a volcano erupt on the San Andreas Fault?
No. As a transform fault, the San Andreas Fault cannot produce volcanism.
Can activity on one fault line affect another fault line?
Yes, there have been instances of an earthquake on one fault line can trigger one on anther fault. It is even suspected that the December 26, 2004 earthquake in Indonesia triggered a smaller earthquake in Alaska.
How do earthquakes impact the environment and humans?
Earth quakes can destroy areas and cities when the occur. especially places with big buildings and a lot of residents. they can tear apart forests. but earthquakes happening is part of nature. (when a techtonic plate moves)*example- san adreas fault*
What is the ring of fire dng with volcanos?
The short answer for this is that many times volcanoes form along earth quake fault lines. This is not always the case though as they can form in the middle of earth's plates also. (earth quake fault lines are usually found on plate boundaries, where two plates meet)
Are the earthquakes bad in Los Angeles?
LA County in general has earthquakes nothing big at all though, but in time will have one of the worst CA has ever seen. LA County (especially the Antelope Valley) has the San Adreas fault running straight through and when the earthquake caused by that happens, were looking at A HUGE earthquake

What do ground fault relays do?
Ground fault relays sense ground faults in the circuit and trigger a circuit breaker to trip off
How can i get earthquake insurance?
Earthquake insurance is probably more prevalent in places that experience earthquakes a lot, particularly cities that lie on the san adreas fault line. I would search for California based companies.
