Is The San Andreas Fault About To Rupture. About 100 km to the northwest along the fault another site at frazier mountain has been investigated. Trenches dug by paleoseismologists across the central section have revealed no disturbed soil layers that would indicate quakes rupturing the surface in the last 2,000. But 2,000 years is an eye blink in geologic terms. “eventually the fault will have to break,” jordan says. A huge earthquake caused by the san andreas fault is long overdue and continues to cause concern among seismologists. Geologists do not know the answers, but recent research has offered a new clue: Field mapping of the san andreas' southernmost reaches, near the salton sea, reveals a type of fault. The director of the southern california earthquake center, thomas jordan, made an announcement recently that would have sent a chill down the spine of every californian: Trenches dug by paleoseismologists across the central section have revealed no disturbed soil layers that would indicate quakes rupturing the surface in the last 2,000 years—about the limit for detection using that method in this region. The san andreas fault line is one of the largest faults in the world that runs over 800 miles across the north american plate. Farther south, near palm springs, the fault hasn’t ruptured in over 300 years.
