   Is a 1906 earthquake a threat to San Francisco Bay?

   • The real threat to the San Francisco Bay region over the next 30 years comes not from a 1906-type earthquake, but from smaller (magnitude about 7) earthquakes occurring on the Hayward fault, the Peninsula segment of the San Andreas fault, or the Rodgers Creek fault.

   How did the 1906 earthquake affect California?

   • The 1906 earthquake is remembered mainly for the fire damage in San Francisco, yet in most places throughout northern California shaking damage dominated. The intensity of shaking that an area experiences during an earthquake depends on the magnitude of the earthquake, its distance from the fault, and the type of ground materials.

   How long did a 1906 earthquake last?

   • Maybe, but..." Based on models taking into account the long-term rate of slip on the San Andreas fault and the amount of offset that occurred on the fault in 1906, the best guess is that 1906-type earthquakes occur at intervals of about 200 years.

   When was the San Andreas Fault discovered?

   • by Sandra S. Schulz and Robert E. Wallace The presence of the San Andreas fault was brought dramatically to world attention on April 18, 1906, when sudden displacement along the fault produced the great San Francisco earthquake and fire.

   Oct 11, 2005 · An earthquake on par with the one that devastated San Francisco in 1906 has a 25% probability of striking the city again within the next 20 years, according to new research. Reliably forecasting the timing, location, and magnitude of an earthquake has been a difficult problem to crack.
