California is located
on the San Andres fault which is where the North American (continental plate
boundary) and Pacific Plate (oceanic plate boundary) meet. This is a convergent
plate boundary where both the North American and Pacific Plate are sliding past
each other northwards but the Pacific Plate is moving faster than the North American
plate. These results in approximately thirty one earthquakes occurring in California
each day but the majority of the earthquakes are so small that they are not
felt. The high amounts of small earthquakes are building up pressure in the
crust so eventually there will be an earthquake of a very high magnitude. This is
why California has to prepare for the high magnitude earthquake.
