The 22 pages that link to San Andreas Fault, each with the reason it gives.

• Plate tectonicsRelated: The textbook transform boundary, source of California's earthquake hazard.

• Pacific PlateBroader topic: It is a prominent example of lateral motion at the plate's boundary.

• San FranciscoRelated: Its movement creates a significant earthquake hazard for the city.

• North American PlateBroader topic: Its lateral motion accommodates much of the relative movement along the plate’s western edge.

• Transform faultRelated: The canonical on-land transform, best studied against its oceanic relatives.

• Basin and Range ProvinceRelated: Its development changed plate-boundary forces near the province’s western edge.

• Elastic-rebound theoryRelated: The 1906 earthquake’s displacement along this fault anchored the original explanation.

• Tectonic plateBroader topic: Its lateral motion illustrates a transform plate boundary.

• 1906 San Francisco earthquakeNarrower topic: The earthquake ruptured this fault, producing intense shaking across the region.

• Strike-slip faultBroader topic: It is a widely studied example of continental right-lateral motion.

• Dead Sea TransformCompared with: It offers a well-known example of transform motion, but separates different plates in a different tectonic setting.

• Farallon PlateBroader topic: Its development followed the arrival of the Pacific–Farallon spreading ridge at the continent.

• North American CordilleraRelated: Its sideways plate motion shapes the Cordillera’s active western margin.

• Gulf of CaliforniaRelated: The gulf’s transform faults continue the plate-boundary system northward.

• Juan de Fuca RidgeCompared with: Unlike this ridge's spreading boundary, the San Andreas primarily accommodates lateral plate motion.

• Ring of FireCompared with: A ring-adjacent boundary with violent earthquakes but almost no volcanism, showing subduction is the eruptive ingredient.

• Baja California PeninsulaRelated: The peninsula’s tectonic setting connects southward to this plate-boundary system.

• Southern CaliforniaRelated: Its movement contributes to the region’s earthquake risk and rugged terrain.

• John Tuzo WilsonBroader topic: It is a prominent example of the transform motion Wilson recognized in plate tectonics.

• Pacific Coast RangesRelated: Its transform motion reshapes California’s coastal mountains without typical arc volcanism.

• American CordilleraRelated: It shows that lateral plate motion also shapes the western mountain system.

• Brittle–ductile transition zoneBroader topic: Its earthquake depths and creeping sections illustrate lateral variation in brittle behavior.
