Earthquake information is posted on a community board near the UC Berkeley Seismological Lab for monitoring earthquakes in Parkfield, California on July 12, 2019 in a remote part of California but one of the most heavily studied quake areas in the world. - In a state full of earthquake fault lines, the San Andreas Fault is perhaps California's most famous, extending some 1,200 kilometers through the State forming the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate, which is moving to the northwest at 3 inches each year and the North American Plate, heading south at about 1 inch per year.
