5 Massive Earthquakes Waiting To Happen
SUBSCRIBE:
Every year, thousands of Earthquakes rock various regions of the world. While most are too small to be felt, others are big enough to cause significant damage. But, there are a few earthquakes that haven't happened yet, but will sometime in the near or distant future. From the San Andreas Fault rupture "The Big One" to the Cascadia Subduction Zone, here are 5 Earthquakes that are waiting to happen.

I remember feeling the 5.3 earthquake in Ohio in 2011 it was amazing and a little scary
Your guess is correct,fracking did cause the earthquake in 2011 here in Ohio.
@Giovanni Sakai just be glad it wasn’t a 7.2 most homes there can’t handle anything more then 6.5 for they aren’t made for that do to the land well being land locked
My first earthquake was the 5.7 that hit Utah in March last year…. I still have super high anxiety about it….
Man we in south east asia himalayan range we experience 7., 7.2, 7.4, 7.6 magnitude almost twice a year
My first earthquake was 6.1 in Manila, Philippines. I was visiting my family there and I was lucky I didnt die, and that it wasn’t the 8.0 magnitude earthquake in 1976.
I love your channel. I grew up with earthquakes, and tornadoes.
I live in Indonesia in Jakarta, yes we always waiting that massive earthquake, along with some volcano activities from time to time, I wetness 2 earthquakes in the last 3 years hit the capital city Jakarta, the last one was real scary specially when you live in high building 😬
I can’t imagine. Stay safe homie
@Pat Mygroin Thanks friend
I live in south of Austria, we had more earthquakes than ever here in 2021 since january, even a 5.2 near vienna in so called neunkirchen, which can be considered as a rare magnitude. In my hometown, called klagenfurt we had 3 since january, strongest was only 3.2… People were allready frightened just because of this! I guess you wouldnt even wake up from that magnitude in jakarta :-))) I can´t even imagine living at a spot like yours, having those threads as an every day companion. Kind regards to you man
@Mainswitch55 Thanks for sharing your thoughts my friend, we just hope everything going well, be safe 👍🏻
The 2004 Indian Ocean earthquake was hard to believe. The power it unleashed to cause that monster tsunami is jaw dropping. Btw, it killed close to 300thousand People, and was classed as a very rare mega-thrust earthquake.
Not so rare…….
Alaska and Hawaii, try Oregon and Washington. It is expected to destroy everything West of I-5. There are millions of people in the tsunami zone along the West coast.
Yeah. The scariest thing is, ever since that 2004 earthquakes, 6- 7 pointer earthquake becoming normal in that region, and it activated old faults that even there’s earthquakes in Borneo now.
@Hazel Reannez Dutch put Oklahoma in warning for a major earthquake last week
I’d switch Japan and casscadia subduction Zone you have Portland and Seattle that arent as earthquake ready as well as most of the Oregon and Washington
man,japan cant catch a break..earthquakes AND godzilla..
@zil Asioral Though not worried about Earthquakes, more worried of Asteroid or Comet. Like the 1 Comet, which broke apart Jupiter before they all impacted Jupiter. They said the size of Comet was 1,000 feet, I think it was the size of the Moon. Because damage was ti Jupiter’s atmosphere, looked larger then the Red Storm. Now they say could fit 4 Earth’s in the diameter of Red Storm, so it looked like a planet size damage. Comet name Shoemaker Levy
😂😂😂
Team Zilla 😂😂
Lol. Russia just got one today says a lot
@mermaid777 0 potzilla
Everywhere in the world can experience a small earthquake. I’m from the UK and have experienced two minor ones, but I would never willing go to live near a fault line or a volcano. One day there will be something worse than the Boxing Day tsunami, the Japan tsunami of 2011 or the several worst volcanic eruptions ever like Krakatoa, it’s inevitable. 😳
Lake Toba North Sumatera was one of the biggest ELEs.
ELE = Extinction Level Event.
I remember years ago in South Wales the earth rippled and rolled towards me and l felt a slight pressure raise me up as l was walking the Brecon area. It was amazing.
I can feel how dangerous and how much mental pressure one can feel living in those region.
Oh.. I live not only on a fault line (the mega trust fault along Washington) But I also live within what they call “a ring of fire” of multiple volcanos surrounding me. These are not currently active volcanos but…. They say an intense enough quake would create a dominos effect setting them off one by one. 🤷🏼♂️🤷🏼♂️ I don’t know when you live somewhere that that’s what the facts are it doesn’t really cause you much anxiety. RARELY do I even think about earthquakes if at all. But I’ve been in probably.. 3-5? Last one was pretty close to home. My dad was literally driving in the spot that it hit when it hit. Everyone pulled off the freeway because apparently it felt like all your tires went flat so everyone at the same time pulled off. My dad looked around and looked at other drivers and said “I think we just had an earthquake?” And sure enough right through the nisqually valley where he was at.
You forgot to talk about the New Madrid Fault, it could be apocalyptic for the Midwest-Memphis could become history at best.
It made Reelfoot Lake, too.
Yeah I figured New Madrid would be number 1
Again, current resident of Memphis here.
Madrid? Where’s that at? Sorry- I never heard about this fault line and now I want to learn more about it!
@Random Audrey! New Madrid is a town in Missouri pretty close to St. Louis. The New Madrid fault zone is basically a failed continental rift that runs thru 8 states. If it ever finishes what it started it would connect Lake Superior and the Gulf of Mexico. I’m just west enough that I think my new address would be KC Bay Missouri lol. It’s a very interesting fault zone and worth an internet search. It doesn’t go often but when it does…😬 There were a series of HUGE quakes in the 1800 hundred’s and the 1600 hundred’s.
How’d you Miss Chile?!that country sets the record for earthquakes
These things are about ad revenue, not information. This is a rehash of common knowledge, with a bit of hyperbole thrown in.
“Waiting to happen” comes too close to sounding like a “prediction.” It seems to imply knowledge that is not available.
@boris medved earthquakes are inevitable so long as as plate tectonics continues so “waiting to happen” is completely true and valid, so you are trying to make something out of nothing with that arguement
@Mr Exists he’s making an argument about why this isnt about real info, this is just about the money. Albiet his other argument doesn’t make sense
Yes, the Boxing Day Tsunami did take the lives of more than 50,000.
In fact 270,000 in Aceh + up to another 60,000 mostly from Thailand, Bangladesh, Myanmar.
You’ve missed out on the greatest earthquake in US history: the New Madrid events of 1811-1812. The failed rift type fault will play hell with Memphis and Saint Louis, and will shut down the Mississippi basin river freight route..
@Clint Ballard It’s a mix of everything in the Midwest isn’t it LOL
@Kim Ski lol indeed
@Clint Ballard Keeps life interesting though LOL
@Clint Ballard I feel them from time to time in Atlanta, centered in north Alabama to central Georgia, once in a while in Tennessee or the Carolinas.
I remember one that rumbled about the same time my alarm went off around 4:35 AM. Couldn’t understand why the snooze bar didn’t react. The tremor was a low amplitude, long duration event maybe a minute and a half, but only between 1 to 2 on the Richter scale.
The new Madrid fault is another massive one waiting to happen.
New Madrid is the one that I was referencing. It is a mid-continental fault, often related to rift valleys such as one growing in the Missouri River region.
I had to look that one up because my son lives in Madrid, Spain! I’m in the U.K and wasn’t aware that there’s a Madrid in the U.S
@Rhondda Lesley Nothing odd in that, get a map of the US that shows more than the large cities and you see what I mean. I have lived in Breman Township in a town called Midlothian. I get my mail through a town called Frankfort (Frankfurt) to the original settlers (primarily German). In Louisana counties are called parishes (French influence). The US was originally settled by many different peoples from different lands, in the past all joined into a common culture using English but influenced by all.
Crazy how cites ended up there.
No. Shhhhh. Shh. Lol
What about the New Madrid seismic zone?
The Hayward earthquake can totally happen on our lifetime…
Sir , I predict earthquakes going to happen Okay I greet you with that one but how about this one you’re not ready for me to say don’t be scared year , sorry about that Merry Christmas 🎄 12/25/2099
next ten years for sure…6000 dead.
@Deborah Skillman Try more like in the next few days to a week.
@Fartmail Two0000 you obviously haven’t been paying attention lately to all the seismicity and volcanic eruptions all around the world lately have you? Lol.
@Deborah Skillman huh?
Lots of those towns on the coast beside Cascadia have no high ground. Flat for miles and miles. Seaside has one ancient bridge out of town.
Only answer to that is to get in a boat and head straight out (if there’s time) , only half a mile out would be petty safe
This is scary and fascinating. Thank you.
“from california to japan” ok so only the ocean needs to be worried
Ya but you know what happens when the ocean gets pissed off…
Ring of fire zone!
@Red Sable 😂 tsunami floods
The Hayward fault has a massive earthquake on average every 140-170 years. Its last major fault was in 1868 ( 153 years ago ) but dont worry its not likely to experience another major quake in our lifetimes? You failed math class huh bud?
Yeah technically this earthquake is expected from 2008 and maximum due date is 2038 so definitely overdue for this earthquake to happen any single a day now. With the frequent amount of tremors and earthquakes around the word, I see this happening sooner than later.
Justin …🤣 He got his PhD in that USGS math I think
Humans: understand where and when earthquakes occur.
Also humans: let’s build everything on and around these places where devastation is bound to happen in the near future, YOLO.
Right?! And what the hell… Throw some nuclear facilities on them too! What could POSSIBLY go wrong? LOL
Plus, after it happens: “OMG, I cant believe this happened!!!!”
I hope when this man says prepare, it doesn’t mean “oh ok I’ll wait till it happens.” Whoever is in those fields that do architecture, water piping, electricity, I hope you also make those structures “prepare” as best as you can because there’s still time now.
