What kind of fault is the san andreas fault


Consider the following questions:

1. The tectonic cycle is a cycle in which crust is both created and destroyed. Where does crust get created and how does this occur? Where does crust get destroyed and how does this occur?

2. Explain the three types of tectonic plate boundaries. In your explanation you must include

1) the type of boundary,

2) what is occurring at this boundary,

3) the type of features/events that are common with this boundary, and

4) an explanation of where this type of boundary exists (on this one, make sure you explain what has happened at this specific location).

3. What kind of fault is the San Andreas Fault? How does this type of fault move and how does this movement relate to earthquakes (and the elastic rebound theory)?
