[edit] Keep Intro Simple, Use Body for Detail

The introduction should not have technical detail and too much jargon. Such material belongs in the body of the article. The intro should be simple, telling the non-specialist reader the most important, basic facts first, such as where it is, geographically and tectonically.

Part of the location info is wrong. For one thing, there is no such town as "Solano". If you mean Solano County, the Calaveras does not run there, unless you have new, ref'd information.

The section about seismicity should note that no really large quakes have occurred in historic times on the Calaveras as this is significant when compared to the other major faults in the region. If there is a geologic record of very large quakes, this can be noted separately.
