This is not surprising.

What the heck do they think uplifted the hills in the first place?

Also- in addition to the Newport-Inglewood Fault, which is offshore in that area, there's the Compton Thrust zone that I saw diagrammed running from the Hollywood fault to Newport Beach, and showing as the faultline being on shore.

My question is this: Are the Compton Thrust belt and the Newport-Inglewood Fault part of the same zone, and is this new "blind thrust" fault just the southward extension of the Compton Thrust Belt/Newport-Inglewood/whatever they are calling it today fault system?

(I keep a close eye on a sag pond just down Warner Avenue from my condo. I would like to know which fault line it is on so that I am reporting accurately)
