Two active Southern California faults may cause a Big One by rupturing together Two active Southern California faults may cause a Big One by rupturing together. Two of Southern California's most active faults could rupture together in a magnitude-7.5 earthquake, according to a new study, raising a grim seismic scenario for communities east of Los Angeles.
