The 1906 #earthquake was a turning point in #geology #history. #Science investigation and study revealed that quakes occur on fault lines, and the recently-discovered San Andreas Fault was the source of the 1906 SF #quake. Within decades it would contribute to understanding of plate tectonics, which is relevant to understanding quake hazards around the world. Modern understanding of quakes started there and then. https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/events/1906calif/18april/revolution.php
