When the North American and Pacific Plates collided, the force pushed and curved the San Andreas forth towards San Francisco, California. As more and more aftershocks came, more powerful and large fires overcame the city. The fires wiped out much of the remaining people and structures. Overall, the main cause was the movement of plates around the Earth. The earthquake of San Francisco burned down many houses and buildings, making it one of the most destructive and dangerous earthquakes of all time. An estimated amount of 1,000-3,000 people died or were left homeless after the earthquake. Also an area of about 300,000 square miles was ruined or destroyed near the San Andreas Fault, going towards Southern California, Western Nevada, and Southern Oregon. Scientists discovered how to pin-pint a location of an earthquake more accurately and faster. This earthquake seared its name into U.S. history forever. Therefore, this earthquake was one of the most devastating earthquakes the world ever experienced. In conclusion, the San Francisco Earthquake made many people become homeless or got death. The earthquake was written as a powerful earthquake. Many scientists studied the earthquake and discovered how to prevent a lot of damage from future earthquakes. More importantly, scientist found a way to see whether houses would fall down depending on the soil under the
