    The San Andreas Fault is a fault that goes about 800 miles through California. The fault is named after the San Andreas Lake which is a lake that formed in the middle of the Fault. A fault is a break in the earth’s surface where two tectonic plates meet. The San Andreas Fault forms the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The San Andreas Fault is the most famous fault in the world. It is about ten miles deep. The San Andreas Fault caused the 1906 San Francisco

    Golden Gate bridge‚ and Alcatraz. However‚ one of the biggest states in the country is in danger of mass destruction from a huge crack in the ground called the San Andreas Fault. What is the science behind this fault? why should people fear it? and what could be the result of another devastating earthquake? The San Andreas Fault is a place where two massive tectonic plates‚ specifically the North American and Pacific plates. The small split in the ground extends more than 800 miles and is roughly

    The most dangerous fault in the U.S. is home to the complicates bay area fault system; the Hayward fault. The area surrounding the Hayward fault has a very high population density and a major earthquake along this fault could have deviating results. Since the 1868 Hayward fault earthquake‚ evidence of creeping has become very apparent along different areas on the fault. This evidence is proof that stress and energy is building in the fault and is ready to be released at any moment. They San Francisco

    Design of sensor based fault detection system for temperature measurement using Arduino and LabVIEW Abstract This paper proposes the design of sensor based fault detection system for temperature measurement using Arduino and LabVIEW. Temperature is one of the most important industrial parameter that needs to be monitored continuously‚ any variations in the temperature from its set point causes the system to fail. The failure of any system causes many losses such as economical‚ damage to the

    The San Andreas Fault and its role in Plate Tectonics and Earthquake Prediction The San Andreas Fault is one of the most widely studied faults in the world. Scientists use an array of methods in collecting data and providing analysis of fault characteristics both past and present. Presently there are many differing hypothesis and models used to describe crustal movements and deformation within the Pacific and North American plate boundary. Historical earthquakes along this fault have proven to be
