New model finds extreme stress near Cajon Pass, raising concern over a broader Southern California earthquake scenario.

Stress Is at a 1,000-Year High

Two Major Fault Systems Are Involved

Cajon Pass Is the Critical Junction

The Gate Has Opened Before

Matching Stress Levels Raise Concern

One Segment Reached an Unprecedented Level

Scientists Reconstructed a Millennium of Earthquakes

For more than 160 years, sections of Southern California’s most powerful fault network have remained without a major rupture. A new model suggests that the quiet interval has allowed tectonic stress to reach unusually high levels.

The research focuses on the San Andreas and San Jacinto fault systems and the critical junction between them at Cajon Pass. Scientists stress that the findings do not predict when the next major earthquake will occur.
