- TOUR OF THE HAYWARD FAULT.
- Introduction to the Hayward Fault.
- The Hayward fault extends from San Jose 120 km or about 74 miles northward along the base of the East Bay Hills to San Pablo Bay. Two types of fault movement occur along faults. ... A large earthquake, estimated to have been about magnitude 7, occurred on the Hayward fault in 1868 and was the "great" earthquake of the Bay Area prior to 1906. Descriptions from the 1868 Hayward earthquake report a meter or about 3 feet of fault rupture in the City of Hayward. The other type is a very slow movement of the fault, a few millimeters or a fraction of an inch a year that does not generate earthquakes. This slow movement, called fault creep (or tectonic creep) can easily be observed where cultural features such as streets, curbs, and buildings straddle the Hayward fault and are deformed by the slow movement. Fault creep is most easily recognized where curbs and other structures are bent in a specific direction called right-lateral offset. Right lateral describes the horizontal movement of one side of the Hayward fault relative to the other side of the fault. ... These right-lateral offsets or bends produced by creep line up street after street, identifying the precise location of the Hayward fault. ...

3. San Andreas Fault
- www.scvresources.com
- San Andreas Fault - Carrizo Plain to Wrightwood.
- Many features of the San Andreas Fault are visible along Elizabeth Lake Road (County Road N2). Fault Slice Ridges are visible on the north side of the road between Bouquet Canyon Road and Johnson Pass Road. More evidence of the fault is the narrow, linear valley that the highway goes through. ... Other examples of fault features are offset streams. Movement along the fault has produced some spectacular folding. ... The ridge line that runs along here was formed as a result of fault movement. The last time the fault moved here was January 9, 1857. ... This fault is what people in Southern California refer to as THE Fault.

4. Hayward creep processes
- cires.colorado.edu
- Five creepmeters operate on the Hayward Fault. Typical creep rates are 5 mm/year, but because creep can be distributed over a wide zone, and the creepmeters are 30 m long and cross the fault obliquely (at 30 degrees), they do not always record the entire creep signal. ...
- The Hayward fault has slipped at 5 mm/year over the last several hundred thousand years. The fault between 5 and 12 km depth is believed to slip entirely in earthquakes, but the surface fault and deepest part of the fault also slips by a process of aseismic creep. ... Creep has occurred at least since the last major earthquake on the fault in 1868. The 1906 earthquake on the San Andreas fault on the opposite side of the San Francisco Bay destroyed the Gallegos Winery (constructed in 1886 across the Hayward fault in Fremont), and its foundations have been offset more than 90 cm. This foundation was constructed after the last Hayward earthquake, but several other features offset in the 1896 earthquake have also continued to be offset by creep, indicating that creep incompletely releases strain energy applied to the fault.
- The figure left illustrates how creep is confined to the top and bottom of an active fault, and how an oblique creepmeter measures surface creep. ... The displacement far from a fault can be measured with GPS methods to an accuracy of approximately 1 mm, but the displacement on the fault can be measured 100 times more precisel;y with a creepmeter. A creepmeter consists of a rigid bar attached to a stable monument on one side of the fault. Movement of the free end of the bar relative to a second monument on the other side of the fault is measured with a displacement transducer to an accuracy of approximately 10 microns (1/1000 mm), every 10 minutes.

6. Fault Motion Animations : IRIS
- www.iris.edu
- Fault Motion.
- These animations are very elementary examples of fault motion intended for simple demonstrations. ...
- a) Normal Fault.
- In a normal fault, the block above the fault moves down relative to the block below the fault. This fault motion is caused by tensional forces and results in extension. Other names: normal-slip fault, tensional fault or gravity fault .
- b) Reverse Fault.
- In a reverse fault, the block above the fault moves up relative to the block below the fault. This fault motion is caused by compressional forces and results in shortening. A reverse fault is called a thrust fault if the dip of the fault plane is small. Other names: thrust fault, reverse-slip fault or compressional fault .
- 2 STRIKE-SLIP FAULT.
- In a strike-slip fault, the movement of blocks along a fault is horizontal. If the block on the far side of the fault moves to the left, as shown in this animation, the fault is called left-lateral. If the block on the far side moves to the right, the fault is called right-lateral. The fault motion of a strike-slip fault is caused by shearing forces. Other names: transcurrent fault, lateral fault, tear fault or wrench fault .

- The Normal Fault.
- The normal fault is not necessarily normal in the sense that it is common. ... However what is normal about them is that their movement tends to follow the gravitational pull on the fault blocks involved. The fault plane on the normal fault is generally very steep. In a normal fault the two involved blocks are (by gravity) pulling away from one another causing one of the fault blocks to slip upward and the other downward with respect to the fault plane (it is hard to determine whether both or just one block has moved. ... The exposed upward block forms a cliff-like feature known as a fault scarp. ...
- The Reverse Fault.
- The reverse fault is a normal fault except the general movement of the fault blocks is toward.
- each other, not away from each other as in the normal fault. This forms a thrust fault type expression on the surface with material overlaying other material. ...
- The image above shows a fault scarp where the block was thrown down at one end of the valley. ...
- New fault scarps along Hebgen Lake, Montana. ...
- Two More Fault Types.
- Transcurrent Fault (Strike-Slip Fault).
- Probably the most well known and well studied fault is the transcurrent (strike-slip) fault known as the San Andreas fault of California. This fault marks the margin line between the Pacific and North American Plates. Movement on a strike strip fault is generally horizontal. On the surface, scarps form as hills crossing the fault zone are torn apart by movement over time. Actually anything crossing this fault zone is either slowly torn apart, or offset. Rivers crossing the fault line are called offset streams and are classic signatures of fault activity along the San Andreas. ...

9. Fault Lines

- Fault Lines.
- Fault Lines.
- Maynard’s belief that the five fault lines of race, class, gender, generation and geography are the most enduring forces shaping lives, experiences and social tensions in this country, the Institute’s Fault Lines framework helps journalists build a more diverse source list, have more voices in stories and determine which fault lines are at work in complex issues.
- The Institute’s Fault Lines framework can be used as a quick checklist or a brainstorming tool that journalists can use to analyze and plan the content of their coverage based on the character of the communities they serve.
- Fault Lines improves credibility because knowing which fault line is dominant and not confusing race for class, or class with geography helps to ensure more accurate coverage. It also allows for more nuanced coverage because it reminds journalists that it is not enough to only look at one fault line, the other four must be factored in as well. ...
- Fault Lines also recognizes that we all have blind spots based on our experiences and serves to remind all journalists to continue to seek those who have different viewpoints.
