The Hayward Fault Exposed in Fremont, CA is a fascinating exhibit that uncovers the Hayward Fault, an offset of the San Andreas Fault system, and its impact on the landforms of eastern San Francisco Bay. This transform fault, located within the San Andreas Fault Boundary Zone, slowly moves and exhibits evidence of creep, resulting in unique urban features such as offset curbs, compression knolls, and elongated water features.
The exhibit is managed by Math Science Nucleus, an organization dedicated to providing quality science and math lessons to promote critical thinking skills in children. With their expertise in education and public outreach, they also manage the Children's Natural History Museum and Tule Ponds at Tyson Lagoon Wetland Center. The U.S. Geological Survey, a government agency, contributes to the exhibit by providing posters and maps that enhance the understanding of the faulted floor.
