∙ 9y agoThe San Andreas Fault is a continental transform boundary that extends roughly 810 miles (1,300 km) through California, forming the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. Its motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal).

What are the main types of tectonic plate boundaries?
There are three primary types of tectonic plate boundaries. They pertain of Divergent boundaries, Convergent boundaries and Transform-fault boundaries.
What are three types of plate bounderys?

What are three types of bounderies?
the three types of plate boundaries are : -convergent plate boundaries -divergent plate boundaries -transformed plate boundaries
What are the tree types of plate boundaries?
Plate boundaries are places where two tectonic plates meet. There are three major types of plate boundaries. These are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
What are the three types of plate boundaries and what types of faults occur there?
a. Transform:transform boundaries or motion creates strike-slip faults.b. Convergent:convergent boundaries or motion creates reverse faults.c. Divergent:divergent motion creates a normal fault.
What types of plate boundaries are There?
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
What are two types of mountains that can form far from plate boundaries?
fault-block mountains and uplifted mountains
What types of plate boundaries are found in or along the continental US?
the types of plate boundaries are the divergent and convergent plate boundaries i hope i help alot ok
What are the three types plate boundaries?
Three types of plate boundaries are spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. um actually they are divergent, convergent, and transform
Can one plate have several types of plate boundaries?
All of the tectonic plates have different types of plate boundaries, most having all three types of plate boundaries. Convergent, where the plate is subducting under another plate, divergent, where the plate is pulling away from another plate, and transform boundaries where the plates are sliding past each other.
Give examples of where the three types of plate movements occur?
San Andreas Fault--transform plate boundary. Himalayan Mountain Range--convergent plate boundary. Mid-ocean ridge--divergent plate boundary.
List three types of plate boundaries that exist at the edges of the plates?
There are three main types: Convergent boundaries (where two plates are being pushed together) Divergent boundaries (where two plates are being pulled apart) Transform boundaries (where two plates are sliding past each other).
