![]() ![]() We lack the ability to give us something big and dumb, which is what once made this style of movie fun to watch.įinal Thoughts – San Andrea Mega Quake bland syfy standard movie. We do fail to capture the destruction sequences which would make the film a lot more enjoyable, filling most of the story with the science talk and a car, helicopter or person walking needing to do something to escape. Thoughts – San Andreas Mega Quake is the sequel to the San Andreas Quake movie, which was a knock off of Dwayne Johnson’s San Andreas, while the film does do well to show us how the part of the world has been affected by the earthquake, it soon seems to forget most of this as LA looks unaffected with later moments. Story: San Andreas Mega Quake starts in the aftermath of a quake which devastated LA, the rebuilding process has started until the next quake arrives, Dr Jan Werner (Harris) must work with his ex-wife Deborah (Nicholls) as they look to use her invention to prevent the whole West Coast of America from falling into the ocean, meanwhile their daughter Ingrid (Bartholomew) is helping the remaining residents evacuate the area. There may be spoilers in the rest of the review Tagline – America is about to split in half! But as fore-shocks turn California into chaos, it’s a race against time the scientists might not win. Their only hope is to rupture a volcano that will displace the earthquake’s energy and build a new crust on the surface. Plot: Scientists make a horrible discovery: The “Big One” is coming in two days, with it, California will sink to the ocean. Starring: Joseph Michael Harris, Christie Nicholls, Liz Fenning, Sarah J Bartholomew, Dennis Renard, Glen Baggerly One scenario includes a magnitude 6.4 earthquake in Cupertino, in the heart of Silicon Valley, more than five months after the mainshock, a USGS report said.Writer: Ryan Ebert, Geoff Meed ( Screenplay) Significant damage could extend to San Diego and Imperial counties.Īnd a magnitude 7 earthquake rupturing 52 miles of the Hayward fault east of San Francisco could produce significant, damaging aftershocks farther away from the hardest shaken areas beneath Oakland, Berkeley, Hayward and Fremont. Geological Survey said in the 2008 report.Ī magnitude 7.71 aftershock could affect communities such as Palm Springs, Palm Desert, Rancho Mirage, Coachella, Thermal, Mecca, Imperial Valley, Brawley and El Centro. “This event would cause substantial further damage throughout the San Gabriel Valley, perhaps increasing the financial losses and deaths by 20% to 30%,” the U.S. Location, time of day, building codes and other factors make a big difference. The magnitude of an earthquake isn’t enough to determine how much death and destruction it will cause. Science & Medicine Why some huge earthquakes cause great destruction while others do little damage It’s therefore plausible that a magnitude 8.2 earthquake on the southern San Andreas fault, rupturing from near the Mexican border, through Los Angeles County and ending in Monterey County, could result in a subsequent earthquake in San Francisco, Jones said. It’s about a seismologist who predicts an earthquake but no one listens to her. ![]() San Andreas Quake (2015) is a mockbuster, parodying the film San Andreas (2015). ![]() It stars Jeffrey Jones and Henry Ian Cusick. “We aren’t going to see it everywhere 1,000 kilometers away, but we’re going to see it.” 10.0 Earthquake (2014) is about a devastating earthquake that hits Los Angeles. “So out to something like 1,000 kilometers, we have an increased chance of having earthquakes,” Jones said. So the fault length that ruptured in the Turkey quake - about 125 to 185 miles long - would produce a higher chance of follow-up earthquakes as far as 620 miles from the mainshock fault’s ruptured length, according to Jones. In addition, subsequent earthquakes a distance of roughly four times that of the ruptured fault length of the mainshock are considered “triggered” quakes. That means the Santa Monica Bay quake, roughly 250 miles from the southernmost end of the ruptured San Andreas fault, would be considered an aftershock of the 1906 San Francisco quake. Such a quake would be ‘so powerful that it causes widespread damage and consequently affects lives and livelihoods of all southern Californians,’ a report says.
