The fault's activity serves as a reminder of the ongoing threat posed by the state’s dynamic geology.Magnitude 4.7 earthquake shakes LA: What you need to know about the San Andreas Fault ...

Therefore, while the San Andreas fault may generate more powerful earthquakes—up to magnitudes of around 8.0 or even higher—the location of the Puente Hills thrust fault makes it a major hazard.

By contrast, an earthquake on the Puente Hills thrust fault system probably would max out at a magnitude 7.5 — still powerful, but less so than the southern San Andreas.

A new simulation of the shaking from a magnitude 7.8 earthquake on the south San Andreas fault suggests that LA may see 50% less ground motion than previously predicted.
