its jerky because it is a fault line...it has earthquakes......we learned about it in science 2 days ago.....but we are finished with that unit
There are many faults in California. The two most significant faults are the San Andreas Fault and the Hayward Fault.
I think you will ind that it is the San Andreas Fault line.
The San Andreas Fault
The San Andreas Fault is a transverse fault boundary and causes earthquakes, impacting everyone in the region.
the san Andreas fault
No, the San Andreas Fault does not have any volcanoes along its path.
It jerks and moves in a somewhat curved line.
The San Andreas fault is where it occured.
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.
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
The average amount of diplacement along the San Andreas Fault is 2 to 5 centimeters (1 to 2 inches) per year.
The San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault, where two tectonic plates move horizontally past each other. The main force causing movement along the fault is the tectonic forces generated by the motion of the Pacific Plate relative to the North American Plate.
AnswerAccording to the USGS, the plates along the San Andrea fault move about 1.7in per year.
they are making earthquakes
Along the San Andreas Fault line.
The San Andreas Fault
