Link between Calaveras, Hayward faults means potentially larger quakes
Berkeley CA (SPX) Apr 07, 2015 -
University of California, Berkeley seismologists have proven that the
Hayward Fault is essentially a branch of the Calaveras Fault that runs
east of San Jose, which means that both could rupture together,
