region that runs approximately 800 miles long in California it is a region that is conducive to research and discovery. Five different articles invovlving research of the region illustrates this
point. Through the various research more can be understood about earthquakes and the earth and plate activity. And, through such research earthquakes and activity can be better understood and better
predicted in the effort to not only learn but save lives. INTRODUCTION "The presence of the San Andreas fault was brought
dramatically to world attention on April 18, 1906, when sudden displacement along the fault produced the great San Francisco earthquake and fire" (Schulz; Wallace, 2006). As would be expected, however,
that was not the first, nor the last, earthquake involving the San Andreas Fault. this particular region, geologically speaking, has been working for 15-20 million years (Schulz; Wallace, 2006).
The San Andreas Fault, located in California, is a continuous narrow break that exists in the earths crust and runs from northern California
down to "Cajon Pass near San Bernardino" (Schulz; Wallace, 2006). There are areas which possess branching faults that are generally also considered part of the San Andreas faultline (Schulz; Wallace,
2006). The fault system itself runs over 800 miles long and goes as deep as 10 miles into the earth (Schulz; Wallace, 2006). "The San Andreas is the master fault
of an intricate fault network that cuts through rocks of the California coastal region" (Schulz; Wallace, 2006). The earths crust is essentially
composed of plates which move very slowly over the surface of the earth, as they have been doing for millions of years (Schulz; Wallace, 2006). "Two of these moving plates
