Try to keep your images PG-13. Tasteful nudity in the art forums is allowed on a case-by-case basis, but on the whole, it is a good idea to cater to a range of audiences. This includes the very young.

It's within the 500x500 pixels. I can't get the file size on two or your images though, that may be what's wrong.

I checked and they added up to less than 60kb... I don't know how much that is in bytes because they round off weird.

Keep this in mind when you're old enough to move and buy a house. Always expect the worse to happen, because one day it will.
Like the tornado that wasn't supposed to be able to hit Salt Lake because of the surrounding mountains. sweatdrop

Here is the general way the San Andreas faultline works:

Two plates are passing eachother at a very slow speed, scraping against eachother. This causes intense heat and pressure. Believe it or not, rocks that are put under enough heat and pressure become elastic and have internal flow (this is how metamorpic rocks form).

As the two tectonic plates slide against eachother, the rocks bend. Just as if you were stretching a rubber band. The farther the plates slide, the more it "stretches", the more pressure builds up. Finally, just like a rubber band, if you pull it too far it will snap and the pressure will be released all in one instant. The plates slide, and thus the earth quakes.

In the case of the San Andreas, the entire fault line is more like several hundred rubber bands in a chain instead of one. First one snaps, and the pressure is released. Then another snaps, and another, and another. As some places in the fault line release pressure, other places regain pressure. It's a continuous cycle at the moment.

Earth quake prediciton is difficult, but relies on this fact. You can set odds for future Earth Quakes by knowing how long it was since the last earthquake. If there was a large earthquake in one area, it's very unlikely that another large earthquake will happen in that place soon, because all of the pressure there was just released. Places that have many small earthquakes over a short period of time are likely to get more small earthquakes soon.

If there is a place on the fault line that has not had any earthquakes in a very long time, it is more likely that a "big one" could happen at that spot, because it might be building up too much pressure. But there is no way to correctly and accurately predict an earthquake. This is practically impossible due to the physics of it all and current technology.

So, if an earthquake happens, don't blame your local Geologists. We're trying sad
Yeah, I'm a little worried about when we get our next earth quake here.
