             G Enterprise has selected 4 locations San Francisco, Iceland, Hawaii, and Tokyo as possibilities to place the factory complex, Brel Incorporated has researched all 4 locations and came up with the most dangerous one. Brel Incorporated has chosen San Francisco as the most dangerous place to put G Enterprise because San Francisco hasn't had a major earthquake since 1906. Scientists are predicting that the next earthquake will hit in about 30 years which is about the year 2045. San Francisco has had 631 earthquakes in the past 365 days with a magnitude of 1.5 or greater. Since San Francisco has transform fault boundary plates this can result in major earthquakes this forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific plate and the North American plate. Some primary effects of these earthquakes are ground shaking, faulting and ground rupturing. The primary effects can cause aftershocks, which are earthquakes that are smaller and weaker than the principal tremor, and the primary effect can also cause fires, they occur by the fuel lines, power lines, and tanks breaking and setting off flames.
