Connect to the National Science Foundation's gopher and read about earthquake hazards in California that are posed by the San Andreas.
Here is another interesting site which has a digitized database of geologic faults in different parts of the United States and of California earthquake locations.
The Bay Area Seismic Imaging eXperiment may help geologists learn more about the geometry of faults such as the San Andreas in the earth's crust. This is an endeavor of the United States Geological Survey, which may soon be abolished.
