Joel
Achenbach. The Next Big One – Earthquake Technology // National
Geographic
magazine.
April 2006

It’s
been a hundred years since the last big one in California, the 1906
San Francisco earthquake, which helped give birth to modern
earthquake science.

When
the fires died down and San Francisco started to rebuild, Lawson and
a team of colleagues set out to solve the mystery of the Great
Earthquake. In the course of the investigation, a scientist named
Harry Fielding Reid figured out why earthquakes ________. Reid
studied all the reports of ground motion, of roads and fence lines
offset by the fault, and came up with the key concept of «________
rebound.» The _________ of the Earth isn’t perfectly stiff. It
bends. Land at some distance from a locked fault will slowly stretch
in opposite directions, but the fault itself will remain locked,
under increasing ___________. Finally the _______ breaks, and the
land ___________ back violently, releasing ___________ strain. An
earthquake, says Bill Ellsworth of the U.S. Geological Survey in
Menlo Park, California, is «a relaxation process» – from
the standpoint of the planet at least.

A
century later, we have a highly successful theory, called ________
tectonics, that explains why 1906-type earthquakes happen – along
with why continents ____________ , mountains rise, and volcanoes
line the Pacific Rim. Plate tectonics may be one of the signature
triumphs of the human mind, geology’s answer to biology’s theory of
evolution. And yet scientists still can’t say when an earthquake
will happen. They can’t even come close.

Are
there clear patterns, rules, and ___________ in earthquakes, or are
they inherently random and chaotic? Maybe, as Berkeley seismologist
Robert Nadeau says, «A lot of the randomness is just lack of
knowledge.» Yet at the moment, earthquake ____________ remains
a matter of myth, of fabulations in which birds and snakes and fish
and bunny rabbits somehow sniff out the coming calamity. What
scientists can do right now is make good maps of fault _______ and
figure out which ones are probably due for a _________ . And they
can make forecasts. A forecast might say that, over a certain number
of years, there’s a certain likelihood of a certain magnitude
earthquake in a given spot. And that you should bolt your house to
its foundation and lash the water heater to the wall.

Kerry
Sieh believes science can help break the cycle of calamity. Sieh, a
Caltech earthquake geologist, is convinced there’s a way to read the
messages in the ________, to heed the warnings encoded in their
trembling. He knows firsthand how much could be gained if we could
pinpoint the most dangerous faults and know when they are due to
rupture.
