The San Andreas Fault is a continental right-lateral strike-slip transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through the U.S. state of California. It forms part of the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate .
What is the San Andreas Fault? The San Andreas Fault is the sliding boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.

The results of this study indicate that this section of the San Andreas Fault is likely to have a large earthquake in the not-too-distant future. About 100 km to the northwest along the fault another site at Frazier Mountain has been investigated.
The 1,200-kilometer-long San Andreas fault zone is part of the boundary between the Pacific and North American plates, and thus is known as a transform fault. It connects the East Pacific Rise in the Gulf of California with the junction of the Mendocino fracture zone and the Cascade subduction zone to the north.
