The San Andreas Fault is a transform plate boundary.
The San Andreas fault is not connected to the North American or Pacific Plates but is merely the boundary between the two where they make contact. As such, it is a fault as well as a plate boundary.
The San Andreas fault is a right-lateral (dextral) strike-slip fault which marks a transform (or sliding) boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. In essence the plate boundary is destructive rather than constructive but at present the energy is directed at moving the Pacific Plate in a generally northerly direction, parallel with the coastline.
The 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).
The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault. It is around eight hundred and ten miles long and forms the boundary between the Pacific and the North American lithospheric plates. In California this crack in the crust of the earth is visible. As a result of this fault, many earthquakes have occurred in the regions that it passes.
