TRANSFORMERS!

ok, ok, I will tel you where I am. California!!!! and i am staying at a quaint little hotel clost to the San Andreas Fault. the exact coordinates are 
Latitude: 39° 0'13.87"N

Longitude: 123°41'48.04"W.

 The San Andreas fault occurs because two plates, the pacific plate and the north American plate, are sliding against eachother, creating fractures. This is called a Transform Boundary

The movement between the plates is not uniform, some may be as high as 5cm a year, or some may have not moved for centuries. Yep, Transform boundary's are pretty cool, (http://www.gweaver.net/techhigh/projects/period1_2/Yellowstone/Plate%20Tectonics.html) 

there are really only two in the entire world, and the other one is the North Anatolian Fault. Also, the fracture zones in mid ocean ridges are transform boundaries.  

Keep Smart!
