San Andreas FUSE LIT ? Why Today’s 6.1 Earthquake Has Seismologists Terrified !

magnitude 6 to 6.1 in the gulf of california in an area that is absolutely locked and loaded loaded more than in the last 1 000 years and it's directly connected to the san andreas fault so is the big one about to trigger with this earthquake so right now beneath the feet of over 20 million people in southern california the earth is under more pressure than it has been since the middle ages a new study just came out about this and i have already reported about this scientists have just discovered that the region's most dangerous fault lines have officially reached their highest tectonic stress in over 1 000 years so they are not just strained they are what geologists call critically loaded guys critically loaded pushed to the absolute brink of structural failure and now we have this earthquake right there so a powerful magnitude 6 earthquake shallow violently ruptured the seabed just a few hundred miles south in the gulf of california the shaking was felt across the entire mexican states sending an absolute surprising sudden jolt through a highly volatile network of underground fractures that are there it's not just one single fault line but this really this isn't just mexico's problem definitely not because what most people do not realize is that this offshore rupture happened on the exact same continuous tectonic engine that powers the infamous san andreas fault system so is that magnitude 6.0 earthquake the final spark the final push that sets off the clock for the big one that is the question so i'm going to break this down that terrifying hidden connection between today's gulf earthquake and the newly threatened critically loaded fault system and the geological gate that they found that could trigger a multi catastrophe unlike anything modern humanity has ever seen maybe if you have seen my past video about that you know what i'm talking about because don't blink guys the fuse is officially lit to understand the danger we first have to look at exactly what went down in the ocean at 12 45 p.m local time a sharp magnitude 6 earthquake struck the gulf of california epicenter was located offshore northeast of la paz lots of tourists there mexico so for an earthquake to register is as a magnitude 6.0 a massive amount of energy has to be released instantaneously so we're talking about something substantial guys this wasn't a minor tremor this was a major tectonic event but the real reason why this especially isn't just the size of it it's the depth the usgs reports that the rupture occurred at a remarkably we have to say that remarkably shallow depth of only six miles that's 10 kilometers so in seismology depth is everything as you might know if you watch my channel on a what i'm about to tell you right now will blow your mind when an earthquake is deep within the earth the surrounding rock absorbs and dampens a lot of the energy before it reaches the surface right before it has an impact on buildings and structures but a shallow quake the energy almost has no buffer so it strikes the surface basically what we can say with raw unfiltered violence and these are the kinds of earthquakes that bring structures down the shaking has rattled coastal towns and send residents spilling out into the streets across northwestern mexico i mean they have in their mind the catastrophe that is unfolding in venezuela and i'll put in the end screen why venezuela the double earthquake 7.2 and 7.5 went from disaster to even worse catastrophe there's a new video that shows something remarkable what is happening with the ground it's in the end screen you have to watch it it's it's never seen footage before but let's talk about mexico people out on the streets fortunately because the epicenter was located miles offshore the deep ocean water has acted as a buffer for the most severe structural damage an authority right now quickly confirmed there was no immediate threat of a destructive tsunami that is important as well and that is because of what the earthquake was we get to that but you know while coastal residents check their properties for cracks seismologies are busy immediately turned their eyes north towards california because they know exactly which tectonic monster this earthquake just poked it did that definitely so we need to talk about the hidden engine of the dangerous san andreas fault that is locked and loaded and absolutely overdue if we look at a standard map of the san andreas fault and it looks like a single line that that basically neatly tracks through california and then it magically vanishes right around the mexican border yeah but that's not the real truth geology doesn't care about international borders the san andreas fault doesn't end at the mexican border it evolves so what we're actually looking at is a massive 800 mile long boundary between the two of the largest tectonic plates on earth the pacific plate and the north american plate we're talking about a location along the pacific ring of fire right that horseshoe ring where the pacific plate is being pushed into subduction zones and where we have the most of the world's dangerous and largest earthquakes and volcanic eruptions so two largest tectonic plates on earth pacific plate is grinding northwest here in this area while the north american plate is sliding southeast so as you move south past the imperial valley into mexico this plate boundary enters in the gulf of california so here the mechanics change completely so instead of just sliding horizontally past each other the two plates are actively pulling away from each other this is called the gulf of california rift zone so this is basically and that is important for what this earthquake means for california it's a chaotic ultra active web of underwater basins and very long transform faults so as the ocean floor rips open you have to imagine this magmas rising from deep within the earth to create new crust that causes frequent violent snapping along that seabed there so that means that today's magnitude 6.0 earthquake wasn't an isolated event it happened on the imperial gulf fault system that feeds here comes directly into the southern tip of the san andreas fault they're physically connected they are connected they are part of the exact same continuous tectonic conveyor belt every single time the gulf of california shifts the energy travels energy travels how we can say up the pipeline directly impacting the stability of the entire west coast since we know that the san andreas fault can also trigger the cascadia fault and vice versa now let's talk about that 1 000 year stress bomb that new study it's the most alarming part of the equation today's earthquake didn't happen in a vacuum it struck a system that a groundbreaking new study has revealed is already at its absolute breaking point a team of geologists recently published an unprecedented analysis of the tectonic stress levels in southern california so they have measured centuries of crustal deformation and have compared it to historical rupture data and they uncovered guys i have to call it like this a terrifying reality the southern san andreas fault and its highly dangerous neighbor the san jacinto fault have reached their highest accumulated stress levels in over 1 000 years so think of this as a massive mechanical spring so for over 10 centuries the pacific plate has been trying has been trying to push northeast but the rocks along the fault zone have been locked and loaded and and held it right solid refusing to bulge the spring has been compressing tighter and tighter and tighter absorbing a truly unfathomable mount amount of energy so while everyone talks about the san andreas fault the scientists are i have to say quietly terrified of the san jacinto fault the san jacinto branches basically right off the main san andreas line and cuts directly through heavy heavy heavy populated economic hubs like riverside san bernardino and unfortunately also down towards san diego i love san diego i've lived there for quite a while so according to these data the san jacinto fault is now in a critically loaded state and we also heard about studies if you're watching my channel that branched out faults from the san andreas fault can't trigger the san andreas fault right something is shaking nearby where something's locked and loaded some shaking can give it the rest and then it strikes and slips san jacinto fault critically loaded it has been quiet for too long according to scientists it has stored up energy right underneath major highways skyscrapers and suburban neighborhoods the study warns that the entire system is so hyper sensitive that even even the slightest the slightest tectonic nudge could cause the whole thing to come crashing down so to put that up in perspective for you guys the last time these faults held this much pent up energy the crusades hadn't even begun human beings have never lived around these faults in a state this dangerous so can this magnitude 6.0 earthquake that's the big elephant in the room can this trigger the big one so let's answer the question that i'm sure brought every one of you here is this really possible can it trigger the san andreas fault the short answer from seismologists is directly no a magnitude 6 earthquake releases a lot of energy locally we know that but it's epicenter in the gulf it's hundreds of miles south of the main log segments of the san andreas fault in california so seismic energy dissipates over the distance from the magnitude 6 up towards california so the physical shock wave from today's earthquake or event simply doesn't carry enough raw force to basically instantaneously snap the rock thousands of feet beneath los angeles or palm springs but the longer answer is far more unsettling unfortunately and it comes down to a phenomenon that is called dynamic triggering so when a major quake like today like this happens the seismic waves are ripping through the earth and that can act as a sudden rhythmic vibration so if a nearby fault is already critically loaded basically like a glass sitting on the very edge of a table that minor vibration can be just enough to cause it slide we frequently we frequently see gulf earthquakes trigger sudden swarms of like micro earthquakes in southern california's imperial valley within hours of the initial shock so and furthermore every time the gulf of california rips open and move and moves it acts as the literal engine now it comes driving the entire system it releases tension in the south only to jam the plate unfortunately even harder into the locked segments further north in california so today's earthquake may not have snapped the san andreas fault today but it undeniably added more weight to a scale that is already completely overloaded because if it slips further south and it doesn't slip in the north the north is under more strain but let's talk about the earthquake gate because that is important as well i've reported about that but now this comes into play now this comes into the big picture that brings us i have to say it can get worse than that to the ultimate worst case scenario that seismologists are actively prepping for they call it earthquake gate because the san andreas and the san barinto faults are a historic 1 000 year stress maximum they are no longer operating as separate entities so they are entirely interconnected they meet this is the important point where do they meet they meet at a vital geological junction in southern california known as the cajon pass i hope i pronounced this right in my last video i said cajun pass i hope this is okay for you guys scientists refer to the cajon pass as an earthquake gate because under normal stress condition a rupture on one fault system when it hits this junction the gate remains closed but now with both systems both faults critically loaded models show us that the gate is wide open what does that mean if a rupture begins on the san joaquin to fault it can blast right through the cajon pass jump state lines and simultaneously ignite a massive multi-fault rupture down the entire length of the san andreas fault so this would result i have to say it in a joint mega earthquake a catastrophe that would simultaneously compromise infrastructure from san francisco from san diego all the way down to san francisco so the earthquake today the magnitude 6.0 we can't just say i haven't found in mexico right no biggie no problem no that earthquake in the gulf of california is a stark undeniable warning from the planet that shizzy could hit the fizzy big time the tectonic engine there is running the pressure is absolutely mounting there and the 1 000 year clock is it's ticking for california i'm sorry to say that it's ticking down to zero it's no longer a matter of if the big one will happen but only exactly when and the question for you is if you live in that area is when that gate opens are you ready and i just recently saw a local earthquake specialist in california say she said we're not ready and she was quite talking a little bit through the bush of flowers saying it can happen any minute and we're not ready it's going to be an absolute disaster and now think that if this disaster happens it triggers the cascadia fault magnitude 9 plus west coast of oregon washington and canada that would be i don't even want to think about this let me know your ideas your emergency plans in the comments guys are you prepared are you worried about this please stay safe and i see you here if you click here i mean this is absolutely crazy what is going on in venezuela there you can see how the ground moves i'm showing you a video that will blow your mind actually i'm showing you four videos that will blow your mind that have first time ever caught on cctv camera what the ground is doing because you think in an earthquake ah it's just shaking no this is insane watch it i promise you you will not regret it i see you bye bye
