Faultline

[Mel]

Hey everyone! Does anyone know what the name of the faultline is that runs through Am Can? Thanks!

"Three are considered “major”: the San Andreas, the Rodgers Creek, and the Hayward fault. Other faults (the West Napa, Green Valley, and Concord) are smaller"



I got this from google, dunno if its true, I dunno.

Thanks Issa- I found this on the USGS website. It's a list of all the faultline in our area. I mapped from Novato- Vallejo up to Lower Lake to Santa Rosa and out to the Coast line. More than I thought there were, that's for sure.
There is no reason that I am posting this, just was bored and thought I'd share the info...

Is that the line between the city council and the city manager ? Where the city attorney is the ref who calls the "faults" as they occur? Just a hunch.
