Why California's Next Big Quake Will Trap Seismic Waves

Scientists have uncovered remarkable new discoveries beneath Los Angeles that could change how we understand California's earthquake risks. Using 273 seismic sensors, Caltech researchers revealed a massive underground basin reaching nearly 10 kilometers deep, capable of amplifying and prolonging earthquake shaking.

In this DiscoverTube investigation, we explore the 2026 Caltech discovery, the Los Angeles Basin, San Andreas Fault earthquake simulations, and why some neighborhoods could experience significantly stronger shaking than others during a major earthquake.

Could the hidden geology beneath Los Angeles make California's next major earthquake more destructive?
