I read before that the small quakes reduce the likelihood of a big one, but in the case of California, it is the small ones that can mean the big one is about to happen. This is because in some areas the plates slip easily and constantly and the plates pass each other with just little quakes, but in California the plates are hung up and can't just move past each other, until the rock hanging up the plates breaks, and this requires a lot of built up pressure to break the rock hang up. Then that built up pressure continues the sudden movement, until it is released. That is the major earthquake, instead of the small little quakes. This link explains-

Two fault lines in California have been recently discovered. This is one of them-

Below this link is another one explaining the possibility that full moons may help cause big quakes.
This is the second fault line in the bay area that was recently discovered.
