Scientists have been predicting that California was going to get slammed by a huge earthquake every year for the last few decades... but that earthquake has yet to actually materialize. While the state has been home to some notable earthquakes such as the 1994 Northridge earthquake and 2019 Ridgecrest earthquakes, neither lived up to the hype that people have come to expect. So where is California mega earthquake and why hasn't it hit yet?
In this video we'll cover the geography of earthquakes at large and where they hit most frequently, the history of earthquakes in the United States, and why, specifically, California's "big one" might have been delayed or even canceled entirely.
