Welcome
to good ol’ California, the home of famous San Francisco and the San Andreas
Fault.
This is the next step in my tectonic study as I come to San Francisco
because San Francisco is known for its earthquake history. Here at the transform
boundary between the Pacific and North American plates lies the San Andreas
Fault. The Pacific plate moves one direction, and the North American plate
moves in the opposite direction, moving apart at a rate of 5 cm a year. This is
what causes those notorious earthquakes.
From California, I picked up a
vintage, limited-edition crate filled with Jelly
Belly jelly beans. Who’s in?
