Hello Everyone!

I'm back! I have flown half way across the world to the San Andreas Fault. I just got a hot dog, and I'm ready to blog! The San Andreas Fault is on a transform boundary, which means the plates slide past each other. Transform boundaries are notorious for creating earthquakes. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, two of the major plates of the world. The rate of movement along the San Andreas Fault may be as high as 5 centimeters per year. Some of these areas have not move for over a century though!

Got to go grab this taxi! See you later!
