There is a 70% probability that one of these faults will generate a 6.7 M w or greater earthquake before 2030, including the Hayward Fault Zone, which has gone beyond its average return period of 130 years (155 years ago as of July 2024). While the SAF is quiet north of San Francisco, the central SAF segment near San Juan Bautista is where ...

Earthquake prediction is a branch of the science of seismology concerned with the specification of the time, location, and magnitude of future earthquakes within stated limits, [1] [a] and particularly "the determination of parameters for the next strong earthquake to occur in a region". [2] Earthquake prediction is sometimes distinguished from ...
