San Andreas Fault

The San Andreas Fault Zone is in the middle of the picture marked by the line of hills in the middle. It is here that the Pacific ocean crust (a continental plate) slides past the North American crust.
If you stood here in the same spot in one years time, you would be 2 inches south of where are now, and for the pacific plate you would be 2 inches north. In 6 years the difference would be 1 foot, and in 3 million years you would be 100 miles southeast of where you are now.

The view from that point is so foggy because of all the pollution mainly from palmsprings which is to the right hand side of the picture.
