Will recent earthquakes impact San Andreas fault where the "Big One" is overdue?

The two earthquakes that occurred this weekend in California, a 6.4 and a 7.1, were the largest to occur in the state in two decades, but they were not connected to the more well-known San Andreas fault, more than 100 miles away. That's too far away for the quakes to have had any impact on San Andreas.

WCBS-TV chief weathercaster Lonnie Quinn told "CBS This Morning" occurred on what are called strike-slip faults, where the two plates slide parallel to each other but in opposite directions.

Quinn said what made these earthquakes especially rare is they didn't happen all along one fault but rather two different ones that intersect at a right angle.

There have been more than 500 magnitude 3.0 or stronger aftershocks since the quakes and, as Quinn shows in the video above, you can see them forming along the two different faults.

The earthquakes have happened in something called the "Little Lake Fault Zone." Meanwhile, the pressure is still building up on the San Andreas where the "Big One" is overdue.

There hasn't been a 7.1 or larger on San Andreas since the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake.
