Answer:

The erosion and deposition affect the San Andreas Fault through filling and deepening actions.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • The San Andreas Fault is a transform type of fault located in the western part of California.
  • It is an active fault and the actions of water, wind, and heat (insolation) have been affecting the fault in a number of ways for millions of years.
  • The erosion and deposition cycles have been causing the fault to deepen and fill back with sediments again increasing the possibility of the occurrence of an earthquake, exactly like the one that was being feared would take place during the heavy downpour of 2017.
