The San Andreas Fault is primarily known for its seismic activity, resulting from the lateral sliding of the Pacific and North American tectonic plates. This transform fault experiences frequent earthquakes, ranging from minor tremors to significant seismic events, often causing ground shaking and surface rupture. Additionally, the fault can lead to secondary geologic phenomena, such as landslides and ground deformation, impacting the landscape around it. Over time, the accumulation of stress along the fault line can result in major seismic events that release this energy.

How many earthquakes occurred because of san Andreas fault?
The San Andreas Fault is responsible for thousands of earthquakes each year, though the vast majority are too small to be felt by people. Major earthquakes along the fault occur less frequently, with significant events happening every few decades.
Where do a lot of earthquakes occur?
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.
What occur along a fault?
Earthquakes occur along a fault. Near the San Andreas fault lots of earthquakes occur.
Why does earthquakes occur in California?
it is because of the fault line that is called San Andreas fault

What geologic events occur at a transform boundary?
Earthquakes can occur at a transform boundary.
Where does transform boundaries occur?
Along the San Andreas Fault line.
What geologic events occur at transform boundries?
Earthquakes
Where does transform plate boundary occur?
Along the San Andreas Fault line.

Where do lots of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions occur?
The Ring of Fire and the San Andreas Fault
Why do earthquakes occur the San Andrea's fault?
Earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault because of the tectonic plates. When the plates slip or shift, an earthquake happens.
What sometimes disastrous natural event is likely to occur along the San Andreas fault?
earthquake
