The Hayward Fault is parallel to the San Andreas Fault, which lies offshore and through the San Francisco Peninsula. To the east of the Hayward Fault lies the Calaveras Fault. In 2007, the Hayward Fault was discovered to have merged with the Calaveras Fault east of San Jose at a depth of 6.4 kilometers (4.0 mi), with the potential of creating ...
The tunnel crosses the Hayward Fault at a nearly perpendicular angle 850 feet (260 m) from its western portal, and creep along the fault resulted in an offset of 13 inches (330 mm) by 2008. [6] The maximum credible earthquake (magnitude 7.0) predicted in studies would cause an offset of 7.5 feet (2.3 m).
The Hayward fault zone and Rodgers Creek fault are treated as a single fault; the San Andreas fault is treated as two sections. ... (PDF), Geophysical Journal ...
The 1868 Hayward earthquake occurred in the San Francisco Bay Area, California, United States on October 21. With an estimated moment magnitude of 6.3–6.7 and a maximum Mercalli intensity of IX ( Violent ), it was the most recent large earthquake to occur on the Hayward Fault Zone .
Other examples of faults that have experienced aseismic creep include a San Andreas Fault in California and the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey. [3] Creep along the Maacama Fault is about 8 mm per year, consistent with the steady movement along the rest of the Hayward Fault system. Offset in the California Memorial Stadium.

The Maacama Fault is a right lateral-moving (dextral) geologic fault located in the Coast Ranges of northwestern California.It is considered to be the northernmost segment of the Hayward Fault subsystem of the San Andreas Fault zone.
