Resource Abstract:
- description: This digital map database, compiled from previously open- filed U.S. Geological Survey reports (Graymer and others,
1994, Graymer, Jones, and Brabb, 1994) and unpublished data, represents the general distribution of rocks and faults in the
Hayward fault zone. As described in this report, the Hayward fault zone is a zone of highly deformed rocks which trends north
30 degrees west from an area southeast of San Jose to the San Pablo Bay, and ranges in width from 2 to 10 kilometers. Although
historic earthquake activity has been concentrated in the western part of the zone, the zone as a whole reflects oblique right-lateral
and compressive deformation along a significant upper crustal break over the past 10 million years or more. Together with
the accompanying text file (hfgeo.txt), the database provides current information on the distribution and description of faults
and rock types within the fault zone. In addition, the text file discusses the development of the fault zone in the past 10
million years, the relationship of the Hayward and Calaveras fault zones, and the significance of the creeping strand of the
Hayward fault (as most recently defined by Lienkaemper, 1992).; abstract: This digital map database, compiled from previously
