Early studies indicated the earthquake was on the Newport-Inglewood fault, but a later study in 2002 indicated the San Andreas fault was the cause. Other faults have been suggested, but the San Andreas fault is considered the most likely fault. Around 40 people died, and the magnitude ranged from 6.9-7.5. [32]
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 ...
The San Andreas Fault (SAF) system is a network of active right-lateral strike-slip faults that form a portion of a complex and diffuse transform type plate boundary. The zone of deformation between the Pacific and North American plates extends east into the Basin and Range Province of Eastern California and western Nevada.
Studies of past earthquake traces on both the northern San Andreas Fault and the southern Cascadia subduction zone indicate a correlation in time which may be evidence that quakes on the Cascadia subduction zone may have triggered most of the major quakes on the northern San Andreas during at least the past 3,000 years or so. The evidence also ...
The Bucaramanga–Santa Marta Fault (BSMF, BSF) or Bucaramanga–Santa Marta fault system (Spanish: (Sistema de) Falla(s) de Bucaramanga-Santa Marta) is a major oblique transpressional sinistral strike-slip fault (wrench fault) in the departments of Magdalena, Cesar, Norte de Santander and Santander in northern Colombia. The fault system is ...

The San Gregorio Fault is an active, 209 km (130 mi) long fault located off the coast of Northern California. The southern end of the fault is in the Pacific Ocean just south of Monterey Bay , and the northern end is about 20 km northwest of San Francisco , near Bolinas Bay , where the San Gregorio intersects the San Andreas Fault .
The Garlock Fault runs from a junction with the San Andreas Fault in the Antelope Valley, eastward to a junction with the Death Valley Fault Zone in the eastern Mojave Desert. It is named after the historic mining town of Garlock , founded in 1894 by Eugene Garlock and now a ghost town .
