The
prediction
of
earthquakes
may
be
inexact,
but
it
is
vital,
especially
when
large
cities
such
as
San
Francisco
or
Los
Angeles
are
threatened.
The
San
Andreas
Fault
and
two
other
faults,
the
Heyward
and
Calaveras
faults,
all
have
the
potential
to
deliver
a
massive
earthquake
to
the
San
Francisco
Bay
area.
In
this
video
segment,
a
seismologist
explains
the
historical
pattern
of
seismic
activity
in

scientific
methodology
to
understand
the
nature
of
volcanic
processes
and
to
reduce
their
risks
to
society.
