Earthquake San Francisco- 1906
|
|
|
|
On the morning 12 past 5:00 San Francisco suffered a major earthquake
|
|
that killed 3000 people, the earthquake lasted for about 40 seconds and was
|
|
recorded at 8.3 on the Richter Scale.
|
|
|
|
People ran from there houses and some stayed inside the buildings and
|
|
were crushed. The people who ran in the streets were killed by toppled
|
|
buildings falling from above. There fire department was efficient but the
|
|
water pipes that go down the San Andreas Fault were severed. The fire
|
|
could not be stopped because there were now water until the next couple of
|
|
days. Gas mains blew and caused massive fires all around the city. The
|
|
city was in the middle of a great economic boom and almost all was lost on
|
|
that day. The old buildings were never made to withstand earthquakes and
|
|
easily crumbled and fell crushed people. Some sailers on the coast tried
|
|
to leave but the waves flew the boats around like toys. The buildings were
|
|
made out of unreined forced brick or wood which couldn't withstand a
|
|
earthquake of that magnitude.
|
|
|
|
After the earthquake, they noticed that the San Andreas Fault shifted
|
|
a 250-mile long section witch tore roads and fences. Rivers, roads and
|
|
power lines were severed and not aligned with its surroundings. A road
|
|
across the fault ended up 21 feet north of the road to the east same with
|
|
the rivers and creeks.
|
|
|
|
The earthquake's most damage were in Los Bonas 30km east of the fault
|
|
yet there was little damage along towns to the east side of San Francisco
|
|
Bay such as Berkely, 25km east of the fault. And the capital of California
|
|
Sacramento that was 120km east of the rupture showed no damage.
|
|
|
|
Scientists found out that the earthquake originated north of Oregon
|
|
and south to Los Angeles a total of 1170 Km.
|
|
|
|
Knowing now that buildings could not withstand a earthquake with
|
|
unreiforced brick, the new San Francisco would have buildings that can
|
|
handle major earthquakes by constructing them so that they sway back and
|
|
fourth rather than just simply crumbling to the ground killing people.
|
|
|
|
The San Andreas fault is formed by the Pacific plate sliding north and
|
|
the North American plate running South. The two slide together caused the
|
|
earthquake.
|
|
|
|
The most recent earthquake in that area today, was in 1990 in San
|
|
Francisco which measured around 8.3 on the richter scale but it wasn't a
|
|
bad as the one in 1906.
