well I’m not sure if it’s technically part of the one San Andreas fault...faults are like rivers with tributaries that forms a whole system
And i belive the main California fault ..system ..runs north out of San Francisco Bay into the ocean and south down the middle of the Gulf of California between Baja and mainland Mexico it to.the ocean
it why you have two long bays San Francisco Bay and Gulf of California at both ends of the fault.. they are the points the fault go off in to the ocean
let me clarify that California fault system between Baja and San Francisco Bay... is a slip not subduction ...
LA on the Pacific plate is not moving East to be subducted under the mountains under the North American plate....
its sliping north to be up by San Francisco
but it does run in to the ocean at both ends
And i belive the main California fault ..system ..runs north out of San Francisco Bay into the ocean and south down the middle of the Gulf of California between Baja and mainland Mexico it to.the ocean
