Why are San Francisco and the Bay area at risk from a powerful earthquake?
San Francisco has been built on a fault line called the San Andreas Fault. It is a fracture in the crust of the Earth. San Francisco sits on the edge of the pacific tectonic plate. The pacific tectonic plate collides with the North American tectonic plate, causing earthquakes. San Francisco also has soft soils so it's very easy for an earthquake to happen that causes bad damage.

What type of plate is formed when plates slide past each other?
The type of boundary that is formed when two plates slide past each other is called a Strike- Slip boundary. One example of a Strike- slip boundary is California it is located on San Andreas Fault. This caused some of the major earthquake's, which center was located in San Francisco which aused the 1906 San Francisco earthquake that reached a magnitude of 7.9. Strike- Slip boundary's are very common for there earthquakes. When the plates get stuck they start to produce friction that causes the plates to move and also an earthquake to start. Another example of a Strike- Slip boundary is in Haiti. Haiti is split down the middle of there country. When the plats got stuck they started producing friction causing Haiti to have very bad Earthquakes.
