Description: 
This is a video that shows how the San Andreas is strictly not a strike-slip fault. It shows that the big bend region of the San Andreas is an example of non strike slip fault movements. These movements along the big bend have created large concentrations of smaller faults around or below this bend in the greater Los Angeles area. It shows that the San Andreas Fault segments are for the most part vertical fault lines, but at the North Branch and Mill Creek Segments of San Andreas, they are slightly angled from the vertical line. These are identified to have non strike-slip movements.
