What else can I help you with?
Can a fault also be a plate boundary?
Yes, for example the San Andreas Fault is a plate boundary.
Is San Francisco on a plate boundary?
Yes, San Francisco lies near the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. This tectonic boundary is known as the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform fault boundary.
What is the plate boundary of the san Andreas fault?
A transform boundary.
What plate boundary type is the San Andreas fault?
A transform boundary.
Which kind of boundary created the san Andreas fault?
The San Andreas Fault was created by a transform boundary, where two tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other. In the case of the San Andreas Fault, the Pacific Plate is moving northwest relative to the North American Plate.
Which type of plate boundary is associated with the San Andreas Fault?
The San Andreas Fault is associated with a transform plate boundary. It marks the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, where they are sliding past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes along the fault line.
What is a real-world example of a transform plate boundary?
The San Andreas fault is a transform plate boundary.
What boundary is represented by the san Andreas fault?
Transform boundary / conservative boundary.
Is the San Andreas fault connected to the North American plate?
The San Andreas fault is not connected to the North American or Pacific Plates but is merely the boundary between the two where they make contact. As such, it is a fault as well as a plate boundary.
What is part of a transform plate boundary A The Marianas Trench B The Mid-Atlantic Ridge C The Andes Mountains D The San Andreas Fault?
The San Andreas Fault is part of a transform plate boundary.
The san andreas fault is an example of what kind of fault?
The San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault where the motion is mainly horizontal, with the two sides moving past each other horizontally. It is a transform boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
What is an example of a divergent plate boundary and a transform plate boundary?
An example of a divergent plate boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate are moving apart. An example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California, where the Pacific Plate and North American Plate are sliding past each other horizontally.
