California is a big state with varying terrains. There are steep cliffs and mountains, forests, beaches, and deserts. It also has the highest and lowest points in the continental US; Mt. Whitney being the highest and Death Valley being the lowest.
Mountain ranges can be created at all three types of plate boundaries in California: convergent boundaries (e.g. Sierra Nevada Mountains), divergent boundaries (e.g. Basin and Range Province), and transform boundaries (e.g. San Gabriel Mountains).
A specific location on Earth where lateral plate boundaries occur is the San Andreas Fault in California. This transform fault marks the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, where they slide past each other horizontally. The movement along this boundary is responsible for significant seismic activity in the region, including earthquakes.

yes, they tend to be on plate boundaries :)
at plate boundaries
California and Japan are both on tectonic plate boundaries, so when those boundaries move it causes massive earthquake, which is why you hear about it on the news all the time :)

California is in a location that is more prone to volcanoes.
