Game 3
62 People died in the Loma Prieta earthquake in Oct 1989.
About 300 or so measurable earthquakes occur around the world each day. So far, it is not possible to predict the time when an earthquake will occur. The best scientists can do is predict the frequency (once in how many years) an earthquake of a specific intensity will occur on a given fault line.
Earthquakes occur all the time all over the world, both along plate edges and along faults.
Plate Tectonics, a natural process that can occur anywhere in the world. (What happens, is, an earthquake is made when 2 plates collide into one another - making the recent earthquake, and the tsunami that followed after.)
The first notable earthquake was April 18, 1906, which was the cause of the great San Francisco earthquake and fire. In 1989 there was an earthquake in San Francisco Bay Area and was a 6.9 and killed 63 people. This quake is known as the "Quake of '89" or the "World Series Earthquake".

The 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake, also known as the World Series earthquake, occurred along the San Andreas Fault in California. It was caused by the rapid release of stress that had built up along the fault due to the movement of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. The earthquake had a magnitude of 6.9 and resulted in significant damage in the San Francisco Bay Area.
