When volcanoes form, they are typically caused by a convergent or divergent motion. The San Andreas Fault was formed from a transform motion, or when the plates slide past each other.

What kind of fault is probably most common in the northern San Adreas Fault system?

The most common type of fault in the northern San Andreas Fault system is strike-slip fault, where the blocks move horizontally past each other. This fault system is characterized by lateral movement along the fault line, with the Pacific Plate moving northwest relative to the North American Plate.

Explain why there is a difference in the surface topography on either side of the fault line?

The difference in surface topography on either side of a fault line is due to the movement of the Earth's crust along the fault. Over time, one side of the fault may be pushed up while the other side is pushed down, creating variations in elevation. Additionally, erosion and other geological processes can further shape the landscape on either side of the fault.
