Yes, it is. It is called the San Andreas Fault, where it is a transform plate boundary.
Most of the US is on the North American Plate, which covers the majority of the continent. Some areas on the west coast, including California, are on the Pacific Plate, which runs along the Pacific Ocean.

That depends on the section you are looking at. Along much of California the plates are neither colliding nor separating, but sliding past one another. Along the southern coast of Alaska, they are colliding.
north-northwest
Mount Pavlof in Alaska is located along the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The subduction of the Pacific Plate beneath the North American Plate in this region leads to volcanic activity, resulting in the formation of Mount Pavlof.
The Pacific Plate is sliding horizontally past the North American Plate along a transform boundary. This type of movement is responsible for frequent earthquakes in regions like California.
The Pacific plate is sliding past the North American plate.Both move in same direction, but the Pacific plate is moving faster.The result is earthquakes now and then-but no volcanoes.
no its on the pacific plate
True or False? Rocks in the oceans are much older than the rocks found on the continents.
It's a subduction zone. The Pacific Plate to the west is sliding under the North American plate to the east.
The Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate along the Japan Trench, causing earthquakes and volcanic activity in Japan. Along the San Andreas Fault, the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate are sliding past each other horizontally, leading to earthquakes in California.
The San Andreas Fault is the sliding boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. It slices California in two from Cape Mendocino to the Mexican border. San Diego, Los Angeles and Big Sur are on the Pacific Plate. San Francisco, Sacramento and the Sierra Nevada are on the North American Plate.
For the most part, the boundary between the North American and Pacific Plates is a transform boundary, where two plates are sliding and grinding past each other. by pm of 10 d 33
San Francisco is located on the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, known as the San Andreas Fault. This is a transform plate boundary, where the two plates are sliding past each other horizontally.
Baja California is on the Pacific Plate and across the Gulf of California, the rest of Mexico is on the North American plate. Both plates are sliding, in a way that the Pacific Plate is moving to the northwest while the North American Plate is moving southeast. This is called a transform boundary between both plates.
The fault between the North American plate and the Pacific plate is the San Andreas Fault.
The Southern part of California is on the Pacific plate and the Northern part of California is on the North American plate.
