state straddles two plates that are moving past
each other like trains on opposite tracks. The
plate boundary is marked by a zone of active
faults-breaks in the rock and ground surface
caused by plate movements. The most famous
of these is the 1200-km (750-mi) long San
Andreas Fault. The San Andreas fault is a transform fault, a kind common on the
sea floor but rarely found on land.
