The San Andreas fault forms a continuous narrow break in the Earth's crust that extends from northern California southward to Cajon Pass near San Bernardino. Southeastward from Cajon Pass several branching faults, including the San Jacinto and Banning faults, share the movement of the crustal plates. In this stretch of the fault zone, the name "San Andreas" generally is applied to the northeastern most branch.
North American Plate and the Pacific Plate.
The Nazca plate and the South American Plate are two plates which meet along the West Coast of the USA
The two plates that meet in the San Andreas Fault are the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate.

they meet in San Andreas fault
The categories are a continental and a continental plate colliding, continental and oceanic plates colliding, and oceanic and oceanic plates colliding. The two continental plates form mountains. The continental and oceanic plated colliding cause subduction zones and volcanoes. Oceanic and oceanic plates colliding form a trench.
This is called a convergent boundary, because the two plates are converging, or coming together.
I'm learning about this at school too! When two plates slide right past each other in either direction is called Shearing.
At diverging continental plate boundaries. Where tectonic plates made up of continental crust move away from each other, causing a depression it the earths crust.
the plates are moving away from each other.
It is the "Plates" in California that are moving past each each, The western plate is moving north and the eastern plate is moving south.
Tectonic plates shifting or colliding with each other
The tectonic plates move divergent when they move away from each other, convergent when they are colliding with each other, and trasform when they slide past each other.

The theory is that the tectonic plates have faults and are colliding, moving away, or going by each other. ~Toria, 12
Well it would cause an earthquake and sometimes a volcano to erupt
When tectonic plated collide they create an earthquake. It happens by them colliding and shaking each other forming a big movement.
Trasform(plates sliding past each other.) Converging(plates colliding.) Divergent(plates moving away.) These are 3 different types of plate boundries
Earth quakes tend to take place where the edges of tectonic plates meet. There is no one specific place where earth quakes happen, but California does have a lot of earthquakes. Earth quakes are caused by two plate sliding over each other, colliding into each other or pulling away from each other.

They are fold mountains as it is a mountain range. It is caused by either 2 continental plates or an oceanic and a continental plate colliding into each other.
