The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1300 km in California. It forms tectonic boundary between Pacific plate and North American Plate. Its motion is right-lateral strike-slip. It is divided into three segments, and each of this segments has different characteristics and different degree of earthquake risk. The most significant segment is the southern one, which passes within about 35 miles of Los Angeles. This fault was first identified by professor Andrew Lawson from the UC Berkley in 1895.

How does the tilt of Earth's axis affect how the sun's rays strike eachother?
victus00 [196]
The tilt of the Earths axis can affect where the Suns rays hit the Earth. If the northern hemisphere tilts slightly more than the southern hemisphere, the northern hemisphere is facing the sun more often, this is known as "Summer" for people in the north, and "Winter" for people in the south. Im not sure if that answered your question, but the suns rays bounce off the Earths surface and clouds and sometimes hit each other in our atmosphere.
