Scientists at Work: San Andreas Fault
Dr. Edmond Mathez from the American Museum of Natural History explores the San Andreas Fault in California with Dr. Tom Rockwell from San Diego State University. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries. Where plates spread apart, earthquakes are shallow and small. Where plates slip past each other, they are shallow but frequently large. The San Andreas Fault is one such boundary. Created by American Museum of Natural History.
