 EO Natural Hazards: Earthquake Near San Simeon, California
In general terms, the tectonic activity of central California is caused by the northwestward slide of the plate of rock underlying the Pacific Ocean against the plate underlying North America.
Most of the force of these two plates grinding past each other is borne at major strike-slip faults (where adjacent sides of the fault move horizontally), such as the San Andreas fault.
The preliminary report from the U.S. Geological Survey is that the December 22, 2003, quake centered 6 miles northwest of San Simeon was the result of reverse faulting in the Oceanic fault zone in the Santa Lucia Mountains.
