Types of Plate Boundaries in California The Great California ShakeOut

Divergent Boundaries: Two plates pull apart Convergent Boundaries: Two plates push together Transform Boundaries: Two plates slide horizontally against one another Plate boundary zones: Sometimes boundaries are not well defined, especially if they involve more than two plates. Types of Plate Boundaries The Great California ShakeOut

Transform boundary between the Pacific and North American plates along the San Andreas Fault Convergent boundary at the Cascadia Subduction Zone Convergent zone at the bend in the San Andreas Fault Divergent boundary at the Brawley Seismic Zone Plate Boundaries in California The Great California ShakeOut
