Image Caption:
The North American-Pacific Plate Boundary

Large faults criss-cross this scene. The San Andreas fault (1)
runs just east of San Francisco Bay, and runs offshore south of
the city of San Francisco (2). It cuts through Marin county near
Point Reyes (3). The Haywood fault runs along the eastern side
of the bay (4). The epicenter of the large October 17, 1989
earthquake which created much damage in San Francisco and Santa
Cruz (5) was located at the juction of the San Andreas and anoth-
er fault at (6). The folded Coast Ranges north and south of the
bay include marine rocks which were buckled up and sandwiched
against the coast several million years ago. (S34-72-63, 64)
