GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Occasionally, conservative plate boundaries occur in continental plates. The most famous example is the San Andreas Fault of California, which marks a segment of the boundary between the North American and Pacific Plates.

Detailed explanation-2: -The San Andreas fault is a transform plate boundary, accomodating horizontal relative motions.

Detailed explanation-3: -At conservative plate margins, fault lines will be formed. These are plate boundaries where two plate are either slipping past each other in opposite directions or at different rates in the same direction. The plates do not move past each other smoothly.

Detailed explanation-4: -As pressure builds the crust can fracture releasing energy as earthquakes. It is possible to see the boundary between plates along a conservative margin. An example of this is the San Andreas fault in California. This is where the North American and Pacific plates slide past each other.
