Which kind of boundary created the san Andreas fault?
The San Andreas Fault is a transform plate boundary.
What is the name of the fault that marks the boundary between pacific and north American plates?
The name of the transform boundary that separates the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate is known as the San Andreas Fault. It is the site of many of the earthquakes that plague Southern California.
The San Andreas fault is what type of plate motion?
The San Andreas fault is a right-lateral (dextral) strike-slip fault which marks a transform (or sliding) boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. In essence the plate boundary is destructive rather than constructive but at present the energy is directed at moving the Pacific Plate in a generally northerly direction, parallel with the coastline.
What type of plate boundary is California coastline?

The san andreas fault in California is where the north American plate and pacific plate rub against each other. this is and example of a:?
transform boundary
What kind of boundary is the San Andreas fault?
The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform boundary that extends roughly 810 miles (1,300 km) through California, forming the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. Its motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal).
What plate boundary is san Francisco located on?
San Francisco is located on the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, known as the San Andreas Fault. This is a transform plate boundary, where the two plates are sliding past each other horizontally.
