Answer:

The Pacific Plate moves to the north relative to the North American Plate.

Step-by-step explanation:

  • San Andrea's transform fault is a transform fault. It extends roughly 1200 km through California. It forms a tectonic boundary between the Pacific and North Atlantic plate.
  • The fault is divided into three segments and has a motion of right-lateral strike-slip. The slip range of fault varies from 20 to 35 mm.
