Explore the mystery of the highest point on the San Andreas fault. Where Earth’s tectonic plates collide, crustal fragments are squeezed, bend, and shatter. Researcher Miles Kenney, PhD, shows evidence of the aftermath and what it means for the future. Join him on a driving tour to 14 seldom visited roadside locations to witness the consequences of intersecting faults that are bent and twisted 8 to 12 km beneath the surface. Dr. Kenney reveals his hypothesis, finding of five years of investigation, and startling conclusions on the 1-million-year-old creation of Table Mountain and the high peaks of the San Gabriel Mountains themselves.
