Geologic map of the Calaveras Fault. To the east of the Hayward-Rodgers Creek fault, the Calaveras fault extends 123 km (76 mi), splaying from the San Andreas fault near Hollister and terminating at Danville at its northern end. [1]
Simplified fault map of southern California The faults of Southern California viewed to the southeast, as modeled by the Southern California Earthquake Center. Highlighted in purple are the San Andreas Fault (left) and Santa Monica Bay complex (right). The foreground is in the Santa Barbara Channel, the east-trending zone marks the Transverse ...

San Felipe Lake is a sag pond dammed by the fault scarp of the Calaveras Fault, which runs along the western shoreline of the lake.The lake is approximately 0.3 miles (0.48 km) wide and 0.6 miles (0.97 km) long, with a surface area of 0.12 square miles (31 ha), but is estimated to be less than 50-60% of its original summer size since construction of the outflows to the Miller Canal.
Preliminary magnitude 3.4 earthquake NE of Alum Rock near the Calaveras Fault at 3:15 pm. Shaking intensity mostly light, but noticeable by many esp. North San Jose and the East Foothills.
The earthquakes this week were located slightly north of the Ortigalita fault, in an area without any mapped fault lines at the surface. Which parts of Stanislaus County are most at risk for ...
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 ...
Earthquakes are common on the West Coast, with multiple plate boundaries like the San Andreas fault making geologic activity more likely. They are rarer on the East Coast, but they do happen ...
