A U.S. Geological Survey report published in 2008 predicted a 7.8-magnitude earthquake along the southern portion of the fault line would cause over 1,800 deaths, 50,000 injuries, and $200 billion in property damage. Rupture on these newly discovered "stepover" faults has the potential to trigger large earthquakes on the southern San Andreas Fault. Southern California's Salton Sea, once a large natural lake fed by the Colorado River, may play an important role in the earthquake cycle of the southern San Andreas Fault and may have triggered large earthquakes in the past. The researchers studied the sediments deposited over several millennia on the lake floor and found coincident timing between several flooding events and rupture of step-over faults, which in turn, may have loaded the San Andreas.
