Good evening,

I would like some help with this question. 4

Please note: only state the answer. No explanation is needed. Thank you very much.

· All of the following statements about the San Andreas fault are true EXCEPT for one. Which one below is NOT true?

Some sections of the fault exhibit fault creep, with the absence of moderate to large earthquakes.

The fault is a classic example of a continental transform plate boundary.

The fault ruptures systematically along discrete segments, rather than along its entire length.

Current displacement motion along the fault is measured as 2 to 5 centimeters per year.

Earthquake foci are extremely deep - the deepest earthquakes ever recorded worldwide.
