3-D Scenario Of A 7.8 Magnitude Earthquake

LOS ANGELES (CBS) ― The Great Southern California Shakeout is based on a hypothetical, but plausible, magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the San Andreas fault in southern California. Scientists at the U.S Geological Survey have identified this location as the most likely source of a very large earthquake in California.

The following videos depict what such an earthquake would effect various locations across the Southland. The videos were produced through a collaborative effort between the USGS and the Southern California Earthquake Center.
