San Andreas fault is a giant transform boundary

HERE’S THE INTERESTING PART

California is not going to suddenly crack off and disappear, no matter what disaster movies claim. The San Andreas fault is a transform boundary, meaning two massive tectonic plates are just aggressively sliding past each other horizontally. Eventually, Los Angeles will just be parked next to San Francisco, which is its own kind of disaster.
