Question

Many more earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault in California than in other parts of the United States. Scientists claim that these earthquakes are caused by activity along a transform plate boundary.
WILL MARK BRAINLIEST IF CORRECT!!
Which evidence would best support this claim?

Subduction causes new crust to form.
Subduction causes old crust to be destroyed.
Plates slip past each other at the boundary.
Plates collide with each other at the boundary.

Answer 1

Plates slip past each other at the boundary. The San Andreas fault is a continental transform fault that runs along the spine of California from the Salton Sea in SoCal to Cape Mendocino in NorCal. It marks the tectonic plate boundary between the Pacific and North American plates which are constantly moving past each other. The fault type the San Andreas has is a strike-slip, which means the plates move past each other.
