Aseismic creep

(重定向自Fault creep)
A house sitting atop the Calaveras Fault. It was demolished in 2009.
Creep of the Hayward Fault has displaced this curb since its construction about 15 years prior. (Location: Fremont, California)
Offset in the California Memorial Stadium

In geology, aseismic creep is measurable surface displacement along a fault in the absence of notable earthquakes.

An example is along the Calaveras fault in Hollister, California. Streets crossing the fault in Hollister show significant offset and several houses sitting atop the fault are notably twisted (yet habitable). The city attracts geologists and geology students almost weekly. There is also significant aseismic creep along the Hayward fault in and north of Hayward, California, but this is insufficient to prevent a substantial earthquake.
