A 3.2 magnitude earthquake hit Concord, California, on Friday afternoon, but experts are more concerned about the nearby Hayward Fault, which is feared to produce a much more significant earthquake. Located just five miles from Concord, the Hayward Fault is part of a network of seismic activity in the region and could potentially unleash a quake greater than 7.0 magnitude. While the recent quake likely went unnoticed in San Francisco, its occurrence has rekindled fears regarding the imminent dangers posed by the Hayward Fault, as studies suggest it could cause substantial devastation in the Bay Area.
The US Geological Survey reported a 3.2 magnitude earthquake struck Concord, California, raising fears about the potential for a severe quake along the nearby Hayward Fault.
Experts warn that while the recent 3.2 magnitude quake was minor, it underscores the risks associated with the Hayward Fault, which could produce a major earthquake soon.
