In the San Francisco Bay Area, the San Andreas system of faults spans offshore and into the East Bay area, with the bulk of the faults lying to the east of the main SAF. There is a 70% probability that one of these faults will generate a 6.7 M w or greater earthquake before 2030, including the Hayward Fault Zone , which has gone beyond its ...

Concord Fault. The Concord Fault is a geologic fault in the San Francisco Bay Area. The reason it is called that is because it is located under the city of Concord. [1] It is connected to, and considered to be part of, the same fault zone as the Green Valley fault, which lies just a few miles to the north across the Suisun Bay. [2]
