Mysterious tremors

UC Berkeley seismologists have detected a series of mysterious tremors on a section of the San Andreas Fault that produced a 7.8 magnitude earthquake in 1857. The researchers studied seismic activity near San Luis Obispo and detected unusual vibrations that occur deep below the earth’s surface. These vibrations are typically connected to volcanoes, not earthquakes, but the research team recorded unusually strong rumblings before an earthquake in 2004. Larry talks with the lead seismologist on the study about these newly discovered tremors and how predictive they might be of earthquakes on the famed San Andreas Fault.
