It also mentions the Gulf of California as a divergent boundary connected to the San Andreas system, highlighting the region's tectonic complexity and earthquake risk.

It highlights the difficulties in the theory's acceptance due to lack of a driving mechanism for continental movement and geographic biases among early 20th-century geologists. The text also outlines learning objectives related to understanding different plate boundaries, the driving forces behind plate movements, and California's plate boundaries.

It highlights advances in earthquake naming conventions and the importance of hypocenters and seismometer technology in locating earthquakes.

It explains the types of plate boundaries: divergent, where plates move apart; convergent, where they move together; and transform, where they slide past each other. The page details how these movements lead to geological formations like volcanic arcs and mountain ranges, and touches on the historical breakup of the supercontinent Pangea.
