Bookmark or Share- Juan De Fuca Plate - an overview | ScienceDirect TopicsAs shown in Fig. 5.11, Juan de Fuca plate ends in southern Canada and the Cascadia trench is replaced by the Queen Charlotte transform fault. Much like the San Andreas Fault, the Queen Charlotte is a right-lateral transform that separates the North American and Pacific plates. However, unlike the San Andreas, it is located mostly offshore.
- San Andreas Fault - an overview | ScienceDirect TopicsThe San Jacinto Fault (26) splays off the San Andreas at San Bernardino, and the two faults frame the Jacinto and Santa Rosa Mountains (part of the Peninsular Ranges). Although the San Andreas Fault proper ends along the eastern side of the Salton Sea, the greater San Andreas transform system continues southward.
- Tectonic geomorphology of the San Andreas Fault zone from high ...The south central San Andreas Fault (SAF; Fig. 1) is manifest at the surface by some of the most well preserved tectonic geomorphology at 10s to 1000s of meter scale in the world (Fig. 2; e.g., Wallace, 1975, Wallace and Schulz, 1983, Wallace, 1991).
- Development of offset channels across the San Andreas faultThe San Andreas fault offsets some small gullies incising the relatively flat surfaces in the Carrizo Plain, California. Among these gullies, those with larger drainage basins have larger offsets, probably because gullies that have larger floods can keep the channels entrenched and subjected to the fault displacement longer.
- The San Andreas Fault System: Complexities Along a Major Transform ...The San Andreas fault system is a 1300-km-long transform boundary that accommodates motion between the North American and Pacific Plates. New technologies and data reveal rich details about the present configuration of faults, distribution of strain, and associated seismic hazard on this complex network of faults.
