But actually it’s the primary part of the fault,” she said. The San Andreas fault runs 800 miles up the backbone of California and marks the boundary where two major tectonic plates meet.

But the San Andreas Fault has about 150 miles (241 km) of slip between either side, meaning that volcanic rocks in Pinnacles National Park match those much farther south, in Los Angeles County.

As such, recent predictions limit the possible maximum earthquake magnitude along the San Andreas fault system to 8.0, although with a 7 percent probability estimate that such an event could occur ...

1838, northern San Andreas fault, magnitude 7.4: Damage was reported from San Francisco to Santa Clara; the fault likely ruptured from Woodside on the peninsula south of San Francisco to Watsonville.
