What is Overview of the San Andreas Fault System about?
The San Andreas Fault system extends for 1,300 km through California and is responsible for major earthquakes like the 1906 San Francisco earthquake. The fault separates the Pacific and North American plates and moves the blocks at a speed of 2-5 cm per year, accumulating more than 560 km of displacement. Each segment of the fault has different seismic behavior, ranging from slow slip to energy storage and large earthquakes every 50-200 years.
