The Hayward fault zone and Rodgers Creek fault are treated as a single fault; the San Andreas fault is treated as two sections. A complete listing of known Quaternary faults can be found at the U.S. Geological Survey's Quaternary Fault and Fold Database (QFFDB).
The fault model database has been revised and expanded to cover over 350 fault sections, ... (USGS) Quaternary Fault and Fold Database(USGS)
The probability of a serious earthquake on various faults has been estimated in the 2008 Uniform California Earthquake Rupture Forecast. According to the United States Geological Survey, Southern California experiences nearly 10,000 earthquakes every year. [3] Details on specific faults can be found in the USGS Quaternary Fault and Fold Database.
For the following reviews the primary source of information is the U.S. Geological Survey's Quaternary fault and fold database (QFFDB), which includes details of discovery, a technical description, and bibliography for each fault; a specific link is provided (where available) at the end of each section.
Quaternary faults are those active faults that have been recognized at the surface and which have evidence of movement during the Quaternary Period. [3] Related geological disciplines for active-fault studies include geomorphology, seismology, reflection seismology, plate tectonics, geodetics and remote sensing, risk analysis, and others. [2]

The north of the fault zone begins where the San Pedro Basin Fault Zone and the Santa Catalina Fault Zone meet, and the southern section terminates where it reaches the Bahía Soledad Fault. Seismic risk along the fault is high, with potential earthquake scenarios reaching up to magnitude 7.9 in the worst case.
The San Felipe Fault Zone (also known as the Agua Caliente or Murrieta Hot Springs Fault zone) is an active Quaternary fault zone made up of continuous right-lateral fault strands]. [1] It is a part of the San Andreas Fault system and it is located in the western Salton Trough spanning three counties: Imperial , Riverside , and San Diego county ...
