The foreground is in the Santa Barbara Channel, the east-trending zone marks the Transverse Range. Faults in the upper left are part of the Eastern California Shear Zone, connecting northward with the Walker Lane region. Faults extend deeper than shown. Cumulative energy released by all earthquakes in Southern California from 1932 through July ...
The Alder Creek Bridge in Manchester, California, is located within an Alquist-Priolo Earthquake Fault Zone. [ 2 ] Buildings built before 1972 may still lie on top of active faults, and those buildings can remain where they were originally built, unless they undergo a major remodel where more than 50% of the building changes.
The Rescue Lineament-Bear Mountains fault zone, in eastern California, is a series of co-axial faults located in the western foothills of the Sierra Nevada (mountain range).

The San Diego Trough Fault Zone is a group of connected right-lateral strike-slip faults that run parallel to the coast of Southern California, United States, for 150–166 km (93–103 mi). The fault zone takes up 25% of the slip within the Inner Continental Borderlands. Portions of the fault get within 30 km (19 mi) of populated cities ...
The San Jacinto Fault Zone and the San Andreas Fault (SAF) accommodate up to 80% of the slip rate between the North American and Pacific plates.The extreme southern portion of the SAF has experienced two moderate events in historical times, while the SJFZ is one of California's most active fault zones and has repeatedly produced both moderate and large events.
The 5.8 magnitude 1980 Livermore earthquake occurred on this fault. [1] The fault creeps at a rate of at 2 mm/year. [2] The predicted probability of a major earthquake on this fault within the next 30 years is relatively low, at 3%, compared to nearby faults such as the Hayward Fault.
