Hollister’s Creepy Problem
<p>Hollister is exceptional in one very surprising way though. The city sits atop the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calaveras_Fault" rel="noopener ugc nofollow" target="_blank">Calaveras fault</a>, a branch of the much more famous San Andreas fault. It was this fact that prompted me to visit during a trip to California late last summer.</p>
<p>Most faults in the San Andreas system are stuck or “locked.” That is, due to friction and contact among the rocks deep underground, they resist tectonic movement for long periods of time (decades or centuries) until the accumulated forces cause a sudden break or rupture. This sudden rupture, in which the stuck fault may move many feet in a few seconds, is felt on the surface as an earthquake.</p>
