What type of boundary is called when two tectonic plates move side by side?
I believe it is called a fault, like the San Andreas fault in California.
What type of tectonic activity occurs in the san Andreas faults?

What type of plate boundary occurs along the west part of California?
San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and its motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal). By Donovan Lopez
Which type of fault is the most common in the san andrears fault system?
Strike-slip faults are the most common fault type around the San Andreas Fault.
A reverse fault is formed by what type of tectonic plate boundary?
A convergent boundary!
What type of stress caused the San Andreas fault?
Tectonic shear stress.

Explain how tectonic forces created the San Andreas fault zone What type of fault is typical of this fault zone?
The San Andreas fault zone is located at a transform boundary, where two plates are grinding past one another horizontally. As the rocks grind past one another, shear stress causes rock to break into a series of blocks. The blocks form a series of strike-slip faults—the typical fault type along the San Andreas fault.
Many of the Caribbean islands were formed by what type of tectonic activity?
many of Caribbean islands was formed by what type of tectonic activity
What kinda fault is the most common in the san Andreas fault system?
Strike-Slip fault is the most common fault type in the San Andreas fault system.
What type of fault is the 1994 Northridge earthquake on?
It is a THRUST fault The San Andreas Fault
What type of boundary is marked by the san Andreas fault in California?
transform fault
What type of fault is san Andreas is?
Transform Boundary
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 occurs along the west part of California?
San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and its motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal). By Donovan Lopez
Which type of plate boundary is associated with the San Andreas Fault?
It is on a transform fault boundary.
