Geology--United States
Earthquakes
Source: USGS New, A Virtual Tour of the Hayward Fault
From the announcement, "The U.S. Geological Survey has a new website that offers a virtual tour of the Hayward fault. The virtual tour starts at the northern end of the Hayward fault, where it enters San Pablo Bay, and flies south along the fault to Fremont, showing along the way where the fault crosses freeways, runs through the University of California Berkeley football stadium, and intersects residential neighborhoods throughout the East Bay. The virtual tour provides an unprecedented look at the Hayward fault, which last produced a damaging earthquake in October 1868. At the time, this Hayward fault earthquake was known as the great San Francisco earthquake, but it lost that title on April 18th, 1906, when the San Francisco earthquake struck along the San Andreas Fault."
