Question

Why is the San Andreas fault “primarily” a transform plate boundary?

a) the San Andreas fault never extends upwards as far as the ground surface

b) it sometimes can change direction

c) it lies on a plate which currently (geologically speaking) is not in motion

d) it contains a couple of angular bends where stress accumulates and creates a

network of small but deadly faults and tectonic uplift often occurs

Answer 1

According to me option D) is right.( it contains a couple of angular bends where stress accumulates and creates a

network of small but deadly faults and tectonic uplift often occurs)

These faults may extend upward and may also change direction.
