D. The San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault that extends across the area west if the fault extends out into the ocean, just west of the inlet to San Francisco Bay? G. Much of the shoreline around the bay area is a tidal flat or was a tidal flat in recent geologic time (light blue tones). How does this fact influence the potential destruction that could occur from an earthquake in that area?
