The Hayward Fault passes directly under the playing field of Memorial Stadium (nearly from goal post to goal post.), [23] where right-lateral strike-slip motion is shifting the east half of the building to the south at a rate of 1.2 mm/yr; during its construction, expansion joints had been placed in the walls of the stadium to maintain the ...
Between the faults lies an area of minor faults aligned en echelon known as the Contra Costa Shear Zone. [2] The minor Concord Fault lies to the east of the Calaveras Fault, and small earthquakes occur in the gap between faults, mostly in the vicinity of Alamo, California, relieving stresses generated by the displacement between the two faults.
USGS map showing faults that span the Pacific–North America plate boundary. The Hayward Fault Zone is a right-lateral strike-slip geologic fault zone capable of generating destructive earthquakes. The fault was first named in the Lawson Report of the 1906 San Francisco Earthquake in recognition of its involvement in the earthquake of 1868. [1]
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.
Other examples of faults that have experienced aseismic creep include a San Andreas Fault in California and the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey. [3] Creep along the Maacama Fault is about 8 mm per year, consistent with the steady movement along the rest of the Hayward Fault system. Offset in the California Memorial Stadium.
A fault off the Pacific coast could devastate Washington, Oregon and Northern California with a major earthquake and tsunami. Researchers mapped it comprehensively for the first time.
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 ...
A map by the California Geological Survey shows faults near the Lake Almanor area in Plumas County, where a magnitude 5.5 earthquake struck Thursday, May 11, 2023, followed by a magnitude 5.2 ...
