New NASA Radar Could Predict Timing of Mega California Earthquake

Scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., have reportedly begun using a new radar to give them a 3-D close-up of the San Andreas Fault, a continental transform fault that stretches about 800 miles through California. The radar — attached to the bottom of a jet flying 45,000 feet over the state — is expected to measure exact surface elevations along the fault.
