Soundings taken along the San Andreas over the past 15 years showed that the small earthquakes that are a daily event along other parts of the system were not occurring in the Santa Cruz mountains. Scientists argued over the significance of this blank spot...
Halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, near the tiny town of Parkfield, scientists are conducting an experiment that they hope will open the door to a new era of earthquake prediction. Along a 20-mile section of the San Andreas, researchers have sunk strain gauges up to 1,000 ft. deep into the earth and laced the surface with "creep meters" that measure rock movement. "We're listening to the heartbeat of this section of the fault very, very closely," says the Geological Survey's Thatcher. The Parkfield section of the San Andreas is unusual in that...
