Metal Prints from Science Photo Library
Aerial photo of San Andreas fault
Aerial photograph of the San Andreas fault as it crosses the Carrizo Plain some 450km (300 miles) south of San Francisco & 160km (100 miles) north of Los Angeles. One of the worlds great seismic faults, the San Andreas extends almost the full length of California & is responsible for major earthquakes. It is seen here as the narrow, valley-like scar running from bottom left to top centre of the picture. The desolate landscape consists of pressure ridges formed as a result of hundreds of fault movements. The Carrizo Plain is at right, the elevated Elkhorn Scarp at left. This is the place where the San Andreas fault is at its most spectacular

This aerial print captures the awe-inspiring sight of the San Andreas fault as it traverses the Carrizo Plain, situated approximately 450km south of San Francisco and 160km north of Los Angeles. Renowned as one of the world's most significant seismic faults, the San Andreas fault spans almost the entire length of California and is notorious for triggering major earthquakes. In this image, we witness its presence as a narrow yet striking scar that stretches from the bottom left to the top center. The desolate landscape surrounding this geological marvel showcases pressure ridges formed by countless fault movements over time. The Carrizo Plain can be seen on the right side while an elevated feature known as Elkhorn Scarp dominates on the left. This particular location serves as a testament to where the San Andreas fault exhibits its most breathtaking characteristics. As we delve into this photograph, we are reminded of both nature's immense power and delicate balance. It serves as a reminder that beneath our feet lies an intricate network of tectonic plates constantly shifting and shaping our planet's surface.
