Subject: Helium is leaking from San Francisco’s fault lines, and could earthquakes

Written By: Philip Eno on 06/30/15 at 7:55 am

It sounds like something straight from a big-budget disaster movie, but a huge fault in the Earth’s crust is leaking helium – and it could cause a devastating Earthquake.

The Newport-Inglewood Fault Zone lies in the Los Angeles basin and geologist Jim Boles found evidence that helium had been leaking across a 30-mile stretch of the fault line.

He made the findings after examining samples of gas from two dozen oil wells that ranged from LA to Orange County – and claims that his results are proof that the fault line is actually deeper than scientists had previously believed.

‘The results are unexpected for the area, because the LA Basin is different from where most mantle helium anomalies occur’, Professor Boles explained.
