Why do earthquakes occur near the San Andreas fault?
A
One plate slowly pushes the other plate up.
B) A trench is created as one plate slides under the other plate.
Portions of the plates get stuck and then suddenly loosen and move.
D
One plate pushes hard enough to reverse the motion of the other plate.
Basically a faster explanation is the san andreas fault is a transform boundary. If you have an oreo break one of the top pieces and slide them slowly it will get stuck causing an earthquake.
