Todd sure likes to point. That there is one deep quarry. The joints in that granite have sure relieved a lot of stress. Some of the joints turn into faults , says Phil. And the San Andreas Fault is never far away.
Hollister sidewalks are very squiggly.
You can practically put a dime on the fault. From Vista Hill Park , you can see the Calaveras Fault to the North , and the Calaveras Fault to the South. Those rounded cobbles on Vista Hill suggest that a high-energy stream once came through here. In San Juan Batista, where frisbees get thrown across plate boundaries, the mission is rising up to the heavens because the fault slip rate is faster to the south than to the north. Because of the differential slip rates, comression occurs between the two segments, which causes the uplift.
