Myanmar quake offers clues on California's 'Big One'
Original: Devastating 2025 Myanmar earthquake sheds light on how the 'Big One' could play out in California
Scientists are drawing on the devastating 2025 Myanmar earthquake to better understand how a major rupture on the San Andreas Fault could unfold in California. By studying the damage, ground motion and fault behaviour from the Myanmar event, researchers hope to improve predictions of what is often called the 'Big One' and how communities in the western United States might prepare for it.
Why now: Seismologists are comparing the Myanmar disaster to California's long-feared San Andreas earthquake scenario, a topic of constant public concern.
