The San Andreas Fault extends from near the Salton Sea in Southern California northward to the Mendocino Triple Junction in Northern California. A continental transform fault that runs a length of roughly 800 miles (1,300 km) through California in the United States. The fault's motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal motion). It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
This is an example of a conservative boundary, in the USA.

Why do California have more earthquakes than in other places?
There are very deep cracks in the stone structure of the Earth, known as fault lines, that are involved in earthquakes, and several fault lines run through California; Florida does not have fault lines (although it does have hurricanes).

Did Oklahoma have earthquake?
Yes, Meers fault. I am from Oklahoma and currently live in Norman, OK and we have had 65 "felt/registered" earthquakes in the past year; quite unusual. Normally, we have more earthquakes than any other region in the United States (including California) because we sit on top of one of the most active faults in the USA, but these earthquakes are extremely small and cannot be felt or heard. Recently though, the earthquakes have been registering about 3.0-5.0. We are doing studies on the causes right now and have not reached a conclusion on why these earthquakes have been occurring more frequently and stronger.
