What will destroy California first, Fire or Earthquakes?
I think that earthquakes will destroy California first. The fire is a consequence of the earthquake due to the damage of structures like pipe lines in the surrounding areas. Fire is also cause by different factors such as human intervention and climate. California sits on an active earthquake zone. In the following USGS address you’ll find a topographic map of California that contains earthquakes. http://quake.usgs.gov/recenteqs/latest.h… In the last hour, as I type this answer, there was an earthquake in the northwest side of the state. This is shown in water surface with a red square but it’s about 43 miles from Petrolia, California and close to the Mendocino fault zone. The map has 490 earthquakes within today and last week.
