Which two plates make up the San Andreas Fault?
I typed in your exact question & had the answer in 1 second. All you have to do is type your question in your search bar…… I’ll answer this time, but next time, make a little effort please… There are three main types of faults, based on how adjacent blocks of rock move relative to each other. The San Andreas Fault—made infamous by the 1906 San Francisco earthquake—is a strike-slip fault. This means two fault blocks are moving past each other horizontally. Strike-slip faults tend to occur along the boundaries of plates that are sliding past each other. This is the case for the San Andreas, which runs along the boundary of the Pacific and North American plates. After a quake along a strike-slip fault, railroad tracks and fences can show bends and shifts. And, of course, the motion can cause bridges and buildings to collapse. http://www.exploratorium.
