The fault lines in North America include the San Andreas Fault in California, the New Madrid Fault in the central United States, and the Cascadia Subduction Zone in the Pacific Northwest. You can find a map of these fault lines and others on the website of the United States Geological Survey (USGS) or other geological research institutions.

Where do strike slip faults occur?

We can find strike slip fault between two tectonic plates. For exemple; San Andreas fault in California is a strike slip fault and represent the limit between America plate and Pacifique plate. These two plates move with an inverse movement(~1 towards the north and ~1 toward the south). But we can also find this kind of fault in other context like in a colision.

What type of fault do you typically find along a convergent plate boundary?
