BIGGEST Earthquake Faults and Cracks

Rather than being one continuous solid surface, our planet's crust is made up of a series of tectonic plates that are pushing and pulling against one another with immense force. From the infamous San Andreas Fault to lesser-known yet equally significant seismic features. Join us on a journey through the tectonic tapestry of our planet as we uncover the top 15 biggest earthquake faults and cracks.

My ship pulled into a harbor in Talcahouna or Concepcion( spelling on both) Chile. My ship was 532 feet long. A few years ago when Chile had that monster quake, that harbor is now dry land. The area rose over 50 feet. I find that just incredible.

[@pearpo]

That is incredible. Thanks for sharing.

[@seclusionworks7547]

It's mind-blowing how the concept of plate tectonic activity shapes our world! The theorist behind plate techtonics was destroyed professionally and died in shame. I call it vindication that his theory is now widely accepted🎉

[@robertporch8895]

As a kid in the 1950's we had puzzles of the Earth and noticed, hey these pieces fit together they must have been one whole thing before! Duh. He knew it too and just had to get out there and get the proof. But some people despite having the answer slapping them in the face will deny it exist.

[@DavidHalverson]

Plate tectonics is a falsehood, the Planet Earth is Flat. Reason why airplanes don't fly over the north pole or go across the Pacific. Also why no circumnavigation of the Earth was ever completed, even by Amelia Erhart in her airplane, which mysteriously vanished over the Pacific.

Exactly... just like how it's widely accepted the Earth is flat. The kitty, the irony

Yup very interesting I born in L.A. went though Sylmar and Northridge earthquakes the Northridge was only 1/2 mile and that was mean up and down shaking now I live Arizona 50 miles southeast from Tucson boy I hope there is no shaking here but like to go back to Japan were Grandparents are from.

The Alpine Fault (New Zealand) moves more than any other known land fault in the world. The Alpine Fault is the longest natural straight line on earth, over 800km of fault line running between the Australian and Pacific tectonic plates.

Abstract : The energy that dominates the earth is very great, some of it is natural, like the heat of the sun and volcanoes, and some of it is human action, by cutting down trees, without replacing them and cultivating in their place... There are five forces that control or dominate the planet... 1- The first theory (horizontal dynamic movement) and its end... The occurrence of storms, rain, floods and snow, at unexpected times and places, is because of the expiration of this theory, which needs to be balanced... 2- The second theory (vertical dynamic movement) and its end... This movement or force controls or dominates the earthquakes, earth cracks, drying up of rivers and lakes, earth openings, mountain collapses, and the emergence of drinking water springs on the ground... It becomes out of control... These phenomena increased due to the end of this theory... The third theory: it is water that rotates the earth... The fourth theory: the Earth's axis of rotation has tilted 2° degrees... The fifth theory: The Earth has a new orbit... These studies had completed and sent on July 26th 2000 YOUSIF A TOBIYA

[@victoriayates755]

Incredible photography. I fail to understand, though, how you come up with millions of years, in light of how swiftly and dramatically the landscape changes from the more recent and observed earthquake references. Better if you omitted those speculative remarks.

[@angryhedgehoglee6363]

If the Cascadia fault zone ever completely unzips we can expect a 9+ earthquake along its entire length from one end to the other. Every major city along its length will be severely damaged. The death toll will be enormous The economic damage will cripple the entire United States and will cast the entire zone into extreme poverty that will take many generations to return to "normal." Many major cities may not fully recover at all and may not even be rebuilt the cost will be so high. And it's way overdue. The zone has not had the stress relieving regular earthquakes that would mitigate a major end to end shift in the fault. This is a bad situation that's only getting worse with every year that passes by.

[@pearpo]

That is a theory. Depends but there is some possibility.

[@user-sm6bp5cf6t]

The tectonic tapestry 😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@Lesnz2009]

The Kekwrengu Fault is also called the alpine Fault and as you say of many connected fault lines. In Christchurch why I live we have had two earthquakes, one in September 2010 from unknown fault lien that measured about 7 on the Richter scale. This fault line was underneath the alluvial plains and thus had not been dented until then. Then in February 2011 just before the Japanese Tsunami we had another earthquake measuring about 6.5 when devastated Christchurch and surrounding areas. The reason for this was the death of this earthquake located in the Port Hill was only 6.5 km whereas the earlier in September was deep and further south and inland. However both earthquakes combined id a lot of damage and then the Kaikoura earthquake added to destruction and loss. From what I learned at school all the Canterbury fault lines are to the Kekwrengu. What is concerning is this major fault line itself is overdue for shake and when it does it will cause a lot of damage to Wellington our capital. FY I live in Christchurch

To think the continents used to be one, and these events tore it apart and continue to do so os crazy. Eventually i imagine the continents will meet again, a very long time from now

[@yousifatobiya7279]

The occurrence of stoms,rains,ice, and floods at times and in unexpected places,confirms my theory the end of the (dynamic horizontal movement )which needs to balance and it sill under control to balance... But about earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, sinkholes, tsunami, dry lakes and rivers, flow of water from the mountains and hills,explodeand of eyes water from the ground, formation of new mountains or islands, collaps of mountains ,and cracks on ground,& ,& ,&,they are out of control or balance...

Has anyone else noticed that tic tac shaped object at 16:33? I zoomed in on it and have no clue what it could be.

[@ElicBehexan]

Tic tac shaped thing? Do you mean the shadow on the far right side, about in the middle? It kind of looks like a light rain is falling and thus making the shadow that would normally not visible show up.

Madrid in USA is pronounced as "MAD-rid" (unlike the Spanish "mad-RID".) Listen to video-recorded locals as they say the name.

New Madrid was named and governed by Spain at that time. Therefore it should be pronounced MadRID as the Spanish do. Please advise your local government immediately so as not to cause offense to the Spanish culture.

I thought the 1965 quake in Alaska was the most powerful. I dont remember hearing or reading about that quake at the time. Not hearing about it during the time would not be that unusual due to its remote location and I was 8 years old then.

[@pearpo]

We learned about the Alaska quake of 1965 in my Geology class, there was massive vertical movement in that quake. I still remember a photo of a road which was on the fault and moved a great distance.

[@shirleybrooks1599]

Look up the Rio Grande Rift

[@zhonghaoshou5728]

The film's title uses the word "flaws." What is its definition? The world's first earthquake must have occurred after the Earth was formed, i.e. without a "fault". Moreover, I predicted the Bam Earthquake on December 25, 2003 to the public only through the Bam Cloud. The next day, an Iranian seismologist was surprised by my success on ignoring "fault".

[@nocakeforsusan8701]

9:37 ... amazingly this earthquake activity (of filling a depression with local water to form a lake) took only a few weeks... [Bc scientists are always amazed when a catastrophic event creates new formations in a very short period] 16:03 Explain how researchers will (hopefully) preempt events? [Was this video written by artificial mediocre intelligence (AMI)?] 26:18 It is a hefty claim to make that a creek running perpendicular to a fault line is "by pure chance" [When a geological structure does not match the narrative of 'millions of years to form' , it appears that gatekeepers are baffled, leading to claims of "pure chance" and "amazed"]
