Surveying shows the rate of movement along the San Andreas fault is as much as 2 inches per year.
Approximately 10 earthquakes occur along the San Andreas fault each year.

Movement along the fault causes earthquakes; several thousand occur annually, although only a few are of moderate or higher magnitude.
Most earthquakes do occur on fault lines.
Earthquakes typically occur on a any fault because the most common earthquake is the tectonic earthquake and it occurs on all the faults, though usually has the most effect on strike-slip faults (like the San Andreas fault).
Earthquakes can occur anywhere in the world. Major earthquakes usually only occur along fault boundaries like the San Andreas Fault running through California. When the plates move past each other they get stuck, when they start to strain and suddenly release all that energy, it is released in the form of shaking, therefore an earthquake.
The tectonic plates and the fault lines create movements that most commonly create earthquakes. Earthquakes occur along the fault lines, causing the tectonic plates to shift.
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
Earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault because of the tectonic plates. When the plates slip or shift, an earthquake happens.

it is because of the fault line that is called San Andreas fault
Rocks can form rift valleys and mountains.
Most earthquakes occur on active fault lines such as the San Andreas fault in California. Most fault lines are under water but some come above water, such as the San Andreas fault in San Francisco and the fault line in Iceland. The San Andreas fault caused the great fire in San Francisco.

The Ring of Fire and the San Andreas Fault
Along fault lines. Major fault lines occur where the tectonic plates meet each other. The plates will either rub against each other or one will force the other underneath it, which commonly causes earthquakes.
