By presenting the San Andreas Fault map as interactive web-based imagery, anyone can pinpoint the fault anywhere along its trace. And by using a thin red line, the underlying landscape features are minimally obscured.

San Andreas Map: The red line on this map follows the surface trace of the San Andreas Fault across California. Areas to the east (right) of the fault are on the North American tectonic plate. Areas to the west (left) of the fault are part of the Pacific tectonic plate. The arrows show the directions of relative motion along the fault.

2024年7月25日 · The central feature of the map is the San Andreas Fault, with many other prominent structural features depicted that express the regional transpressional tectonic setting. The subsurface interpretation was based on existing two-dimensional geologic mapping and modified by new geologic mapping by USGS geologists between 2005-2014.

The location of the San Andreas Fault is shown on this map. Its trace is marked by red dots connected by thin red straight lines. The positions were measured from professional geological maps, primarily those of the United States Geological Survey, California Geological Survey, Dibblee maps and geological literature.

Plaque showing location of San Andreas Fault in San Mateo County. The San Andreas Fault is a continental right-lateral strike-slip transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through the U.S. state of California. [1] It forms part of the tectonic boundary between the Pacific plate and the North American plate.Traditionally, for scientific purposes, the fault has been ...

2013年11月25日 · The San Andreas Fault is a geologic continental "transform" extending approximately 810 miles and running through California, parallel to the continental coast. The San Andreas Fault is the boundary between the Pacific and North American tectonic plates.
