Parts of the Bay Area experienced a 3.7M earthquake, centered near Pleasant Hill, with significant tremors felt primarily in the East Bay, as registered by the USGS.
The recent earthquake activity in the Bay Area encompasses various faults, including the Concord-Green Valley Fault, which has seen limited activity historically.
The USGS provided insights into the seismic connections of local faults, suggesting that the Concord Fault may link to others like the Greenville and northern Calaveras Fault.
A historical analysis indicates the last major rupture on the Concord-Green Valley Fault could have occurred between 200 to 500 years ago, showing its relative inactivity.
