San Andreas Fault. The San Andreas Fault is the transform boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. During the 1906 San Francisco earthquake the northern section of the San Andreas Fault slipped northward along the fault from San Juan Bautista to Cape Mendocino, a total of 296 miles (477km).
The Alpine Fault in New Zealand is an example of this type of tectonic plate movement. Mission San Juan Bautista. Mission San Juan Bautista sits on the San Andreas Fault. The fault is the boundary between the Pacific Plate on the left side of the picture. The North American Plate can be seen on the right side where the land drops down into the valley. The mission has been damaged several times since it was built by earthquakes that occurred on the fault. Myrna Martin.
