Earthquakes in California are often associated with the San Andreas Fault because it is a major tectonic boundary that runs through the state. The fault has been responsible for several significant earthquakes in the region, leading to its association with seismic activity in California.

Where do fault zones exist?
Geological faults are cracks in the crust of the Earth. They are planar fractures in an area of rock where there is displacement of the rock. Faults are usually associated with tectonic plates.
What do you call the little earthquakes that come before a big earthquake?
Foreshock is what you call one of the little earthquakes that come before the big earthquake or main shock. The main shock may be followed by a little earthquake that's called the aftershock.
This crack shown in the lithosphere was created by the movement of two or more tectonic plates What is this crack called?
if the plates are being pushed together, there can't be a crack.... but there is a fault that could be the answer to your question
What do you call a crack between rocks?
Badly worded question, but I think you're talking about a fault?
Is there a name to call a person who always find fault?
Yes , It is a cynic who always find faults
Why do they call it San Andrea fault?
They call it that because it is a break in the earths crust. That is called a fault. Plus, it is in San Andrea. Get it now? Technically, the fault runs through San Andreas Lake in Marin County. The town of San Andreas is in Calaveras County and quite a ways from the fault and has nothing to do with it.
What do you call a break or crack along which rocks move?
A fault is a break or crack along which rocks move. This movement can result in earthquakes when the accumulated stress is released.
Do earthquakes make the ground to split?
Earthquakes are caused by the movement of the continental shelves.The earth we stand on floats and moves Europe, America, Australia,T he pacific rim , Japan all all hotspots for earthquakes since they sit on the boundaries of different shelves. When adjacent land masses collide or pull apart a fault is formed, this fault can be seen as a split.Just like a branch which bows, the force in the continental shelf stores energy, and just like a branch snapping, it releases that stored energy quickly. It is this which causes the vibrations in the ground which we call an earthquake.

What do scientists call an area along fault where no earthquake activity has occured for a long time?
Scientists call an area along a fault where no earthquake activity has occurred for a long time a seismic gap. This area is considered to be at high risk for future earthquakes because of the built-up strain that has not been released through seismic activity. Monitoring these seismic gaps can help in forecasting potential earthquakes and assessing seismic hazards.
What do you call the science of earthquakes?
The science of earthquakes are known as seismology.
What you call the crack in the ground after series of earthquake?
A crack in the ground caused by a series of earthquakes is known as a fault or a fissure. These fractures occur due to the movement of tectonic plates beneath the Earth's surface, resulting in the release of built-up stress along fault lines.
What do you call the little earthquakes that come before a big earthquake?
Foreshock is what you call one of the little earthquakes that come before the big earthquake or main shock. The main shock may be followed by a little earthquake that's called the aftershock.
What do we call a fractured surface in earth's crust where a mass of rocks is in motion?
A fault is a fractured surface in the Earth's crust where a mass of rocks is in motion. Movement along faults can result in earthquakes.
Where are the call girls in gta san Andreas?
GTA
What are earth quakes located?
Earthquakes originate at fault lines. These are areas of the earth's crust that push together or pull apart at times. When they pull apart or push together they create movement. We call that movement an earthquake.
