He said the <br /> members of the crew are putting charges into the ocean to determine if <br /> there is any significance between the Hayward Fault and other faults <br /> in the area. He noted that, in the past, earthquakes have occurred on <br /> the San Andreas Fault, to be followed within a few years by earthquakes <br /> on the Hayward Fault, and that there may be a connection.
