  2. Hayward Fault Zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hayward_Fault_Zone

    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 ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clyde_Wahrhaftig

    Some of his most popular field guides include Streetcar to Subduction and Other Plate Tectonic Trips by Public Transport in San Francisco, [4] A Walker's Guide to the Geology of San Francisco, and The Hayward Fault in Hayward and Fremont, via BART. Wahrhaftig was also the co-author of two geology textbooks. [5]

  4. Portal:San Francisco Bay Area/Selected article/10 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:San_Francisco_Bay...

    The Hayward Fault Zone is a geologic fault zone capable of generating significantly destructive earthquakes, throughout the foothills on the eastern shore of the San Francisco Bay. It is parallel to its more famous (and much longer) neighbor, the San Andreas Fault , which lies offshore and through the San Francisco peninsula.

  5. California Memorial Stadium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Memorial_Stadium

    The Hayward Fault passes directly under the playing field of Memorial Stadium (nearly from goal post to goal post.), [23] where right-lateral strike-slip motion is shifting the east half of the building to the south at a rate of 1.2 mm/yr; during its construction, expansion joints had been placed in the walls of the stadium to maintain the ...

  6. 1979 Coyote Lake earthquake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1979_Coyote_Lake_earthquake

    The San Andreas Fault system (SAF) is a network of right-lateral strike-slip faults that form a portion of a complex and diffuse plate boundary. The faults span on and off shore along the California portion of the Pacific Rim, and in the area near San Francisco Bay, the extent of the various fault strands are limited to about 80 kilometers (50 mi) wide from east to west.

  7. Strawberry Creek - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strawberry_Creek

    Strawberry Creek serves as a significant marker for the movement of the Hayward Fault. The creek is offset at the mouth of Strawberry Canyon, precisely at the locus of California Memorial Stadium. The filled-in middle forks located in the middle of the UC campus are thought to represent remnants of the former course of the south (main) fork of ...

  8. 1868 Hayward earthquake - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1868_Hayward_earthquake

    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 .

  9. Claremont Tunnel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claremont_Tunnel

    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).
