Where is the fault line in CA? |
Travel Info Where is the fault line in CA? Travel Tips There are numerous faults in California, which explains the numerous earthquake activities the state has. Check out the website below, it will give you a little map and the whereabouts of the major faults in CA. The San Andreas is the most widely known fault in CA and it is mapped on the website. They say that eventually LA and San Fransico will be side by side one day (we'll be long gone by then). http://education.usgs.gov/california/map... Others The San Andreas Fault is a geological fault that runs a length of roughly 800 miles (1300 kilometres) through western and southern California in the United States. The fault, a right-lateral strike-slip fault, marks a transform boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/san_andreas... Assuming you mean the San Andreas Fault, it runs along the coast of California from about forty miles south of Eureka to San Francisco. Then it goes more inland. It's about midway between Interstate 5 and US 101 to west of Bakersfield, then goes east. It crosses Interstate 15 at Cajon Pass (I've been there, there's a great view of it from I-15, but there isn't any place to pull over to stop and look). It then heads down to the Salton Sea. There's a really great view of the fault turned reservoir off the 280 south of San Francisco. You can get married right there, too at the Crystal Springs Golf Course - it's really quite beautiful.
