The San Andreas Fault is located at the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. This transform fault is characterized by horizontal movement, where the Pacific Plate slides past the North American Plate. The interaction between these two tectonic plates is responsible for significant seismic activity in California.

What boundary is the mauna loa on?
If we consult a map showing tectonic plates, we can see that Mauna Loa is on the Pacific plate. The general rule is that volcanic activity usually appears along plate boundaries, but Mauna Loa and the Hawaiian Islands sit on what is called a hot spot in approximately the middle of Pacific plate.
What fault did the 1920 Haiyuan earthquake sit on?

Why are some places badly affected by earthquakes?
Some places are heavily affected by earthquakes because they sit on or near a fault line. Christchurch, for example, sits near a fault line and is why it has frequent and strong earthquakes but practically everywhere in Australia is nowhere near a fault line so we get very littleearthquakes.
What kind of fault does Iceland sit on?
Ice land sits on the Mid-Atlantic ridge. It is a divergent boundary and a normal fault.
What tectonic plates does the eyjafjallajokull sit on?
Eyjafjallajökull sits on the boundary of the North American and Eurasian tectonic plates in Iceland. The volcano is located on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, which is a divergent boundary where the two plates are moving apart.

What tectonic plates does Christchurch sit on?
Christchurch sits on the boundary of the Pacific Plate and the Australian Plate in New Zealand. This region is prone to seismic activity due to the plates' movements against each other.
