The San Andreas Fault runs approx. 800 miles (1,300 km) through California. It is a tectonic plate boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. All the land west of the Pacific Plate is moving slowly northwest while all the land east of the Plate is moving southwest. When they grind past each other they cause tremors.
