Coordinates: [1] 37°34′44″N 121°33′50″W / 37.579, -121.564The Tesla Fault is a seismically active geological structure associated with the Diablo Range in the vicinity of the Livermore Valley in California. This fault has been demonstrated to have a dextral offset of 8.5 kilometers and is closely associated with the Greenville Fault.[2]. The Tesla Fault forms the eastern boundary of the large aquifer known as the Mocho Subbasin. Some groundwater flow of the Mocho Subbasin occurs across the Tesla fault boundary, but flows are discontinuous below a depth of fifty feet across the Tesla Fault.[3]
