Scientists have found a new fault in southern California, which runs parallel to the famous San Andreas. This was reported by Western news agencies.

According to experts, the new fault is a large area of displacement of tectonic rock that is constantly changing. Similar processes occurred over 50 years ago and in San Andreas. Scientists say that the fault poses no danger, but in the future, its size may increase greatly.

Scientists have noted that the rift, like its predecessor, starts at great depths in the Pacific ocean. Because of the constant cyclones in recent years he began to grow slightly, however, to note that it is possible only with extensive research. Currently, it is known that the movement of the mantle beneath the rift on the territory of 30 per cent of the continent recorded a slight tremors, but they do not pose any danger.
