California's unseen fault triggers quakes

A recent 3.8-magnitude earthquake occurred near the Oakland Zoo along the Hayward Fault, a heavily populated and potentially dangerous seismic zone in California. Several aftershocks followed, and scientists warn that a major rupture could cause severe damage, with models estimating shaking up to 50% stronger than previous forecasts. The Hayward Fault, part of the San Andreas system, is overdue for a significant quake and is considered a "ticking time bomb" with a notable risk of a magnitude 6.7 or higher event within the next two decades.
