summary- Fault scarps the vertically offset young alluvial fan deposits along the Antelope valley fault suggest that the biggest earthquake was 14 miles and 23 km long. Radiocarbon dating of bulk soil samples tell us that the last earthquake was about 1350 years ago and a really bad on was about 5000 years earlier. Earthquakes are crazy and really suck but taking buildings down and breaking up the assfalt that we have to put a bunch of money to repair it so we can drive.
critique- it was a pretty good artical but i wouldn't read it again cuz there was not that much good information.
impact- earthquakes are really bad but only some of them are damaging. from experiences of a small earthquake im surprised what a small one can do.
