Many seismologists believe that the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, which occurred on the San Andreas fault, reduced the stress on many faults in the Bay Area including the Hayward fault, creating an "earthquake shadow": a quiescent period following a major earthquake. Since the 1906 San Andreas event there have been no moderately strong ...
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.
A map displaying each of the seven major faults in the San Francisco Bay Area, and the probability of an M6.7 earthquake or higher occurring on each fault between 2003 and 2032 The slip on the San Andreas Fault which caused the 1906 San Francisco earthquake was visible in Wrights Tunnel along the South Pacific Coast Railroad after the earthquake
A magnitude 3.7 earthquake shook the Bay Area city of Hayward just before 2 p.m. Thursday, according to the U.S. Geological Survey. The temblor followed three earlier small earthquakes — a ...
Multiple earthquakes shook California's Bay Area Thursday afternoon. The earthquakes occurred near Hayward, around 20 miles southeast of Oakland, with the strongest one hitting at 1:59 p.m. local ...
A full fault rupture, estimated to be around a 7.5 magnitude, could kill between 3,000 and 18,000 people, according to US Geological Survey and Southern California Earthquake Center.
