California has experienced three earthquakes in the last 24 hours, sparking fears that a major quake could soon strike.

The vast majority of earthquakes result from the constant movement of tectonic plates, which are massive ... The last major earthquakes on the San Andreas fault were in 1857 and 1906.

At this point, the plates can move towards each other, away or slip past each other. The video proves that a side-to-side movement of a strike-slip fault is possible. A similar fate awaits the San ...
