Is The San Andreas Fault Underwater. The northern san andreas fault (nsaf) stretches from the mendocino triple junction, an area in northern california where three tectonic plates meet, south through the san francisco bay area. As the technology to chart underwater faults progressed, mapping this poorly known section of the northern san andreas fault became possible. The maps revealed signs of the 1906 san. A new fault map of the shelf offshore of san francisco, california shows that faulting occurs as a distributed shear zone that involves many fault strands with the principal displacement taken up. The northern san andreas fault (nsaf) stretches from the mendocino triple junction, an area in northern california where three tectonic plates meet, south through the san francisco bay. Here, the northern segment runs underwater along the coast until it reaches close to cape mendocino, where it turns westwards and ends at the meeting point of the north american, pacific, and gorda tectonic plates that is referred to as the mendocino triple junction. It’s part of a much larger system of faults generated by the pacific and north american tectonic plates grinding. Aerial view of a section of san andreas fault line in central california.
