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.

Why do you see only the dry land areas of tectonic plates on a typical world map?

World maps typically show the dry land areas of tectonic plates because these are the visible parts of the Earth's crust. The boundaries of tectonic plates are often marked by geological features such as mountain ranges, earthquakes, and volcanic activity, which are easier to observe on land than in the oceans. Additionally, the distribution of continents and oceans is influenced by the movement of tectonic plates.
