Vor einem Tag · Andrew Lawson, a geologist from the University of California, Berkeley, had named the fault after the San Andreas Lake (prior to the occurrence of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake) and later led an investigation into that event. The San Andreas Fault ruptured for a length of 290 mi (470 km) during the 1906 shock, both to the north of San ...
Vor 2 Tagen · Scientists have observed the surface expression of creep events along the San Andreas Fault since the 1960s. However, the evolution of slip at depth has been examined relatively little. So here we probe that deep slip by analyzing strain observations just before and during hours- to day-long creep events at the northern end of the creeping section of the San Andreas Fault. We identify 71 ...

Vor 3 Tagen · Plate Edges and Fault Lines Aerial view of the San Andreas fault line in California. Earthquakes most commonly occur in the areas near where oceanic or continental plates meet. Earth’s outermost layer, the crust, consists of several interconnected plates. These plates form the bottom of oceans and the land’s surface. The plates are ...
