San Andreas Fault

 

á      The San Andreas Fault is 800 miles long.

 

á      The San Andreas Fault caused an 8.0 magnitude earthquake.

 

á      The San Andreas Fault is the longest fault in North America.

 

Comments: It is interesting that you can stand next to the fault and quickly jump from the Pacific plate to the North American plate.

 

My favorite part of the field trip at the DevilŐs Punchbowl was that I got to jump across a creek and back.
