The Pacific plate is on the left and The North American plate is on the right. The Pacific plate is moving in a northwesterly direction while the North American plate is moving Southwest This is a conservative plate boundary where pressure is being built up and at any point one plate can jerk and release all this energy in the form of shockwaves.

∙ 13y agoCalifornia contains two different plate boundaries! The Juan de Fuca plate is subducting under the North American plate at the northern part of California, so this is a convergent plate boundary. The San Andreas Fault is part of a transform boundary that runs from the edge of the Juan de Fuca plate down through California to the Salton Sea.
