Goodnight, San Francisco

Unstable Ground

San Francisco sits on the San Andreas

Fault . This is a strikeslip fault ,

where the Pacic Plate moves

northwest relative to its neighbor ,

the North American Plate . The San

Andreas Fault is among the most

active fault lines in the world , and

earthquakes along it are common .

Its another beautiful San Francisco sunset . Under the

shades of pink and gold , dockworkers , shopkeepers , and

business people head home . It is the evening of April ,

1906 . It has been a day like any other for the citizens of the

city . San Francisco is alive and buzzing.

The city has grown immensely over the last

years . With a population of over 400,000 people , it is

the ninthlargest city in the United States . Following the

California Gold Rush , San Francisco is the economic center

bay . Because of this prime location , San Francisco is the

are loaded and sent all around the world . The city is even

referred to as the gateway to the Pacific because of its

is interaction among people of all nationalities and

backgrounds .

Aside from its position as a center of trade and

culture , San Francisco is also an important part of the

United States military . Its ports give the military a base of

operations with access to Asia and many other territories

in the Pacific Ocean .

Until this point , nothing seems to stand in the way of

Shake Up!

In the decades leading up to the 1906

earthquake , there had been an increase in

seismic activity in the San Francisco area .

o For what reason might building a major

city near a fault line be worth the risks ?

o In what ways might the people of San

Francisco have prepared for a major

earthquake ?

o Why do you think people choose to live

somewhere that is prone to earthquake

United States . It is prosperous and vibrant . But when night
