The amount of damage due to the 1868 Hayward earthquake is equal to the consequences that we expect to witness following the upcoming next Hayward fault earthquake. A. True
B. False

Correct

B. False

Explanation:

The Hayward earthquake which happened in 1868 was minimal in terms of death of people (Approximately 5 ) and the properties destroyed. This is because, then, the area was sparsely populated.

Currently, the area of the active earthquake is densely populated with buildings, and people. Should there be any earthquake there now, the damage would be devastating inclusive of the number of people dying being in high number.
