Is it true that the San Andreas fault line is going to have a big earthquake within a few weeks?
Earthquakes can not be predicted, but most earthquakes can form part of a sequence, related to each other in terms of location (like in Mexico). San Andreas Fault is continental transform fault that runs through CA in US through Baja, CA into Mexico.

About Earthquakes
Earthquakes are seismic events which rattle the earth. Tectonic plates which press and grind in the Earth's crust release incredible amounts of energy, causing earthquakes. Pictures often show devastating results, depending on the quality of housing prevalent in the earthquake area.
