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).
To be more specific, most of the earthquake happens at the tectonic plates edgesâ boundary yet it can even occur in the middle area. Faults causing the earthquake can actually be located over the edges of the tectonic plate. Basically, there are different faults that cause an earthquake. They are reverse fault, strike slip fault and normal fault. The normal fault occurs following rock slides downward past other rock of block.
