Do you think there will be a huge Earthquake on the East Coast in the future?

Not in the immediate future, no.  However, the Rocky Mountains and accompanying mountain ranges are the result of two plate colliding.  The Appalachians, the same only older.  It leads one to the conclusion that someday way in the future that the roles may reverse and instead of "floating" westward, the tectonic plates may shift that push us back eastward.  There are multiple scenarios, but long story short is that the land masses have to go somewhere.  Once the plates stop shifting in the direction they are moving now they will move in another direction.  They may simply back up, turn, get submerged under one another, or cruch each other up into the sky to create yet another mountain range.  Long story short, there is not a current fault zone along the East Coast right now, but someday there could be if the conditions allow.

You are still near seismically (sp) active areas.  Could easily be influenced by that.  Vegatative deacy?  Near Livermore????  Lots of nasty things dumped in the ground out that way.

Maybe if we launch a nuke near where tectonic plates are and cause an earthquake, then a tsunami...That's severe. But if you're talking about everyday activities like watering the flowers, I don't think that can contribute to servere weather such as hurricanes.

Probably the Asian tsunami

What will happen in the future is anyone's guess. My guess is there will be a lot of panic, much like there was back in 1999.

yes there is .. showing earthquake activity live in the states.. here is the web site

Pretty much the entire city rests on the Hayward Fault Zone, so I'd say everywhere. Which isn't to say that the entire place will collapse due to Earthquakes, but it is on a fault line so there will be seismic activity.

No because it has come the ocean bottum, via volcanos. Japan will get larger.

You won't be warned.  The earth will just start moving.  The danger isn't the earthquake.  The dangers are the things that fall on you, the fires that burn after (assuming gas lines or electricity or some source of fire and fuel).

lol. there is absolutley no way. Tsunamis are usually triggered by earthquakes. and as of now or possibly ever, we wont be able to predict earthquakes. Tsunamis arent diseases you care reduce the risk of by washing your hands or eating apples. it is a force of nature. not even less global warming like with hurricanes can cure tsunamis. NO POSSIBLE WAY. just move away from the coast is your best shot if you are very araid. but they rarely happen.

it sounds like you're talking about global warming. it's very likely that the oceans will rise significantly and that the coastline of all the continents and islands is gonna change considerably. the latest I've heard is not 3' in the next 30 years but maybe 1'.

It's impossible to say when an earthquake will strike, it's only possible to predict statistically when an earthquake might happen. However, this prediction will be so broad in real terms that it will have no value to anyone in terms of safety or doing anything pre-emptive.\n\n\nThe earthquake regions are however well known and follow the recognised earth's fault lines.\n\nIt will however give people some idea of the frequency or expectation of experiencing earthquakes in their own area and allow services to be put in place. The San Andreas fault is due to have another big one soon based on past patterns but the exact date cannot be predicted and I seem to remember reading that it's already late. Only when it's actually happened will it be possible to accurately predict when it was!

It may have something to do with the fact that most major events in the United States' history took place on the East Coast.

the san andreas fault which sits right below the western part of california will eventually fall due to a massive earthquake ,.................dont start packing yet  according to some geologist we talking about 100-175000 yrs from now

There are no earthquake-safe bridges or buildings. They  can be re-inforced to be earthquake resistant but when the 'big one' hits, they're all coming down. I'm talking about the 9.5 subduction zone quake that is due on the US west coast at any time.

During the next 5 years, I hope to see a Democratic sweep in all state and Federal governments (at least we will get a different set of lies), I am afraid we will see rampant inflation, horrid interest rates, serious weather pattern changes including more and more serious hurricanes on the East Coast. I expect that during the next 10 years, our ocean levels to begin rising causing more and more flooding in the gulf and East Coast. We well could face a serious uprising of the population due to the Iraq ordeal...very much like we had with Viet Nam. I do not foresee good times ahead. I also think our problems with Mexico have just started. I hope I am wrong.

Yes! San Diego has several major faults in the area and could experience a catastrophic earthquake(s) up to 7.7 on the Richter Scale.\n\nGod should be spelled B-I-G B-A-N-G\nPBrax@netscape.com
