St Andreas fault makes up the boundary between North American plates and the Pacific Ocean. It is 850 miles (1370 km) long, along the western coast of California from Cape Mendocino in the north to just south of the Salton Sea near the US-Mexico border.

No, the San Andreas Fault does not run through El Paso, Texas. The San Andreas Fault is located in California, primarily running through the state from the Salton Sea in the south to Cape Mendocino in the north. El Paso is situated far to the east of the fault line, primarily in the region of the Rio Grande Rift. While Texas does experience seismic activity, it is not associated with the San Andreas Fault.

What part of the United States has a plate boundary running through it?

The far west coast, along California, is the location of a famous plate boundary known as the San Andreas Fault. This fault is a transform fault boundary, meaning that the Pacific plate to the west and the North American plate to the east rub against each other in a parallel motion but don't create new lithosphere or destroy old lithosphere. This fault is the reason for all the large and small earthquakes in the California area, including the San Francisco earthquake of 1906.
