Respuesta :
Within the Californian rocks, the San Andreas Fault system reaches over 10 miles and covers an area of 800 miles. It designates the point where the North American plate is moving southward and the Pacific plate is moving to the north.
Let's go over what a defect is so that we can really understand this subject. A fault is a split in the Earth's crust caused by the movement of two crustal blocks past one another. Based on the direction of the slip between the earthen blocks, faults are categorized. Strike-slip faults are the type of faults found in the San Andreas system. One block or both blocks slide past one another horizontally at strike-slip faults. On the surface, you can see how movement along the fault led to an offset fence and a bend in the river.
Anywhere on the surface of the Earth can have faults. A simple strike-slip fault is not the San Andreas Fault system. The tectonic plates of the Pacific and North American are actually separated by a transform border. The locations of transform borders are where two tectonic plates collide laterally. A complicated network of strike-slip faults drives movement along the transform boundaries.
