This is an article about the San Andreas Fault line that was a terrbile eruption that killed about 3'0000 people.I have diced this because it was tragic I did not like this because hundreds of thausands of people died.It was in California.At five in the afternoon on October 17, 1989 the San Andreas fault system in northern California had its first major quake since 1906. The quake was responsible for 62 deaths, 3,757 injuries, and over $6 billion in damage. Over 18,000 homes and 2,600 businesses were damaged and about 3,000 people were in the late afternoon of October 17, 1989 the San Andreas fault ruptured in its first major earthquake since the great San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Centered along a remote segment of the fault in the southern Santa Cruz Mountains, the Loma Prieta earthquake reruptured the southernmost 40km of the 1906 fault break.The San Andreas fault is the boundry between the North American and Pacific plates. As the Pacific plate slides north along the San Andreas relative to the North American plate, earthquakes are generated along the San Andreas fault homeless.
