Looking up from below and northward along the San Andreas fault zone in the vicinity of the SAFOD core. The drill site, marked by a star, is projected on the green and tan ground surface. Multiple strands of the San Andreas fault are mapped with black lines. The red path of the main SAFOD line intersects the fault at depth, where numerous earthquakes (shown as white balls) happen continuously. (Image from L. Blair, U.S. Geological Survey)

Fluid Pressure Spikes in SAFOD Rocks as Evidence of Microseismicity


2011-03-22

The San Andreas Fault (SAF) deforms by permanent creep and microseismicity in central California. Higher-thanhydrostatic fluid pressures, which could explain low strength and creep, were not detected during the San Andreas Fault Observatory at Depth (SAFO
