Not the Civil War -- World War Two. Although more American died in the Civil War, more Americans were killed in WW2. It's a pedantic technicality perhaps, but the Civil War was America's deadliest war, World War II its bloodiest.
The San Andreas Fault is the transform boundary between the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. During the 1906 San Francisco earthquake the northern section of the San Andreas Fault slipped northward along the fault from San Juan Bautista to Cape Mendocino, a total of 296 miles (477km).
So scientists can tell where an earthquake is likely to happen, like along the San Andreas Fault. They can look at historical records and get an estimate of how often earthquakes tend to happen along certain transform faults, too.ating Newest Oldest. Best Answer: Most earthquakes occur because of movements along transform plate fault boundaries. Here, you have two plates moving past each other that occasionally get stuck along their margins. Where they come into contact and can't move, pressure builds up.
