Ngaphezulu kweenyikima ezili-140 ezibeke iCalifornia kwisilumkiso, kwaye yiyo loo nto inyikima enkulu inokuhlasela nanini na. Iinyikima, ezazinamandla phakathi kwe-1,4 kunye ne-4,3 ngokwe-United States Geological Survey (i-USGS, ngesifinyezo sayo ngesiNgesi), ngewayichaphazele isiphoso seSan Andrés, nesisisongelo ilizwe.
ICarlifonia isenokunyikima xa inyikima ingumndilili 7 okanye ngaphezulu, njengesiphumo sokuxabana phakathi kweplate yaseNyakatho Melika kunye nePasifiki.
Iinyikima ezingaphezu kwe-140 ezirekhodwe kwiintsuku zamva nje zenzeke kuLwandle lwaseSalton, ichibi elikumantla mpuma eSan Diego. Nangona babengenamandla kakhulu, bayazikhathaza iingcali, ezilumkise oko Awunakho ukuyeka ukugada kwakhonjengokuba inyikima enkulu inokwenzeka nanini na.
Izixeko ezinjengeSan Diego, iVentura, iSan Bernardino, iRiverside, iorenji, iLos Angeles, kunye neekern kunye neekomkhulu zasebukhosini zinokuba zezokuqala nezona zichaphazeleka kunyikima enokubakho, ke ngoko Isilumkiso siphezulu.
Okwangoku, umlawuli weZiko eliNyikima laseMazantsi e-California, uThomas H. Jordan, unethemba. Ucacisile ukuba amathuba enyikima enkulu eyenzeka kwiiyure ezimbalwa ezizayo aphantsi, njengoko iinyikima kuLwandle lwaseSalton zehlile. Nangona kunjalo, kukho amacandelo eSan Andrés error asebenze ixesha elide. Injalo imeko yommandla osemazantsi, obekuvelise iinyikima 330 iminyaka.
Iinyikima ezinkulu eCalifornia zenzeka rhoqo Iminyaka emi-150 okanye emi-200Ke ngoko, isoyikiso sihlala sikhona, ngakumbi xa kuthathelwa ingqalelo ukuba ngo-1906 kwabakho ubukhulu obuphakathi kuka-7,9 no-8,6 eSan Francisco obabulala abantu abangaphezu kwama-3000 XNUMX.
Ukuba ufuna ukwazi ukuba zeziphi iinyikima zomhlaba zokugqibela ezenzekileyo, unokwenza cofa apha.
