Question: is ridgecrest on the san andreas fault?
Answer: The Garlock Fault links the remote 2019 Ridgecrest rupture to the San Andreas, with densely populated greater Los Angeles nearby. ... If it did so, and if the rupture came within 30 miles (45 kilometers) of the San Andreas, there is a 50/50 chance that the Mojave (red) section of the San Andreas would follow suit.
