Super earthquake lurks in the US and Canada

There is a geological fault line off the northwest coast of the Pacific. This fault line can shake many US and Canadian cities with the same power as the Chile earthquake.

The AP said that the fault line (milling line) above doesn't work for more than 300 years, but when it wakes up - maybe tomorrow or a few dozen years - the consequences can be terrible.

Recent computer simulations show that a seismic that has a magnitude of 9 on the Richter scale and lasts for 2-5 minutes can destroy buildings, highways and bridges from the British province. Columbia of Canada came to the northern state of California, USA.

Such seismic can also create strong tsunamis in minutes. Major cities such as Portland and Seattle of the United States can resist tsunamis, but low-lying areas along the coast will not be so fortunate.

'The northwestern region of the Pacific has experienced similar shocks of the earthquake that just happened in Chilie. The problem is when the next seismic will happen, 'said Brian Atwater, a geologist at the US Geological Department and the University of Washington, speaking to AP.

The most recent earthquake in the northwestern Pacific Ocean has a magnitude of 9 on the Richter scale and occurred in 1700. It caused tsunamis with elevations between 1 and 1.2 m. Tsunami hit Asia, destroying many coastal villages of Japan.

The end of the milling road in southern Oregon state and northern California state of America will break in the next 50 years and create an earthquake super. It is affirmed by Chris Goldfinger, an earthquake expert at the University of Oregon, USA. Goldfinger believes that the probability of this phenomenon is 80%.
