No, not according to recent studies by geologists interested in such information. It is the result of slip-sliding of the continental shelf under the Pacific "shelf" and is associated with the San Andres fault that almost follows the CA coast line but veers off to see just north of San Francisco. I remember small earth quakes while living in Mill Valley as a kid. I also remember being glad I was NOT climbing on Mt Tam at the time. Nemaste, gwenie
