California earthquakes: the Big One

At the California Science Center there is a section devoted to earthquakes. Here you live with the fear of Big One, the great earthquake that sooner or later it will devastate California. Why? The San Andreas Fault
(in English, San Andreas Fault) is a geological fault that extends for 1287 km across California, including the North American plate and the Pacific. In the immediate vicinity of devastating earthquakes have occurred (in 1857, in the central and southern California, a magnitude 8.0, in 1906 with an epicenter near San Francisco, with 3000 victims of the earthquake and fire that followed, in 1989, with 63 deaths and severe but localized damage in San Francisco Bay).

Here Fabio, Federico, and Erik experience the construction of structures and conditions are met for a construction resistant to earthquakes.

But here you can see an animation with different types of movement of faults.
