How have the tectonic plate boundaries in California changed over the last 225 million years?
The plates have changed because of age and when the plates move they grind.
A transform fault boundary occurs where two plates what?
Transform fault boundaries happen at the site where two tectonic plates move past each other in opposite directions. The two plates will grind past each other, breaking off pieces of crust from the plates. The plates can get caught on each other and pressure will build up until a break develops and the plates will lurch forward.
What kind of plate occurs where two plates grind past each other without destroying or producing lithosphere?
transform fault boundary
What kind of plate boundary occurs where two plates grind past each without destroying or producing lithosphere?
transform fault boundary
Examples of transform fault boundary?
The San Andreas Fault in California, where the Pacific Plate meets the North American Plate and they grind past each other. Also: Turkey's North Anatolian Fault New Zealand's Alpine Fault
What tectonic plates affect Sacramento?

Where can a earthquake come from?
tetoic plates grind the grind a slip past each other
Why are earthquakes more common in California?
California sits along the San Andreas Fault. Here, two slabs of Earth's crust, called tectonic plates, slowly grind past one another. As this happens the plates snag on one another and build up tension. Every so often the plates slip and this tension is released in the form of earthquakes.
