What would happen if a massive megaquake struck the United States? A powerful earthquake can send destructive seismic waves across enormous distances, trigger landslides, damage infrastructure, and in coastal regions potentially generate tsunamis.
In this video, we explore the science behind U.S. megaquakes, the major fault systems capable of producing extreme earthquakes, and what could happen if a rare, high-magnitude event struck a densely populated region.
Could one earthquake really affect a huge portion of the continent? And how far could its effects reach?
We break down the science, geography, fault lines, and potential consequences behind one of the most extreme earthquake scenarios imaginable.
