The Bay Area doesn’t just sit on top of one of the world’s most unique fault lines. The area is surrounded and has been shaped for thousands of years by fault lines, earthquakes, volcanoes, and even glaciers. The San Andreas fault line, which many travelers know of, cuts vertically through the entirety of the state of California. All over the Bay Area and the surrounding regions, you can find evidence of the destruction, as well as creation, the San Andreas has made throughout its approximate 30 million year history. story by Lyn Brook on xpressmagazine.org // photos by @splorange_ #faultline #bayarea #earthquake #beach #coast #coastalliving #platetectonics
