Document Summary
Not the first time: 1 927, 1957, 1965, 2005. Up to 6 months for water supply restoration. Rupture starts under oakland & runs north into san pablo. Bay & south to the city of fremont (53 miles), with up to 2 meters of fault offset. To become resilient, we must understand the threat the. Imaging subducting plates, roots of volcanoes, the driving forces of plate tectonics. It was thought to be earthquake safe . So, had released all the built-up strain. Plate tectonic theory now informs us that this is not true. Part theoretical model to explain observations & predict additional, testable observations. The aftershocks are a good indicator of the length of fault that ruptured. Physical rupture model for a m7 earthquake slip. Very big quakes => long period energy => swaying skyscrapers. Physical models of earth processes allow us to predict future earthquake impacts. To become resilient, we must enact effective mitigation strategies.
