Except for 'hot spots' like Hawaii and Yellowstone National Park, volcanoes usually form where one tectonic plate plunges under another (subduction). The plunging plate drags with it oceanic moisture and (lighter than basaltic) andesic sediments that when heated can 'melt' their way to the surface. The San Andreas fault is a location where tectonic plates are merely sliding past each other. http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080229043710AA9leVo
Volcanoes don't form along the San Andreas Fault because it is a strike-slip fault. This means that neither plate is being sub ducted under the other--they are just sliding past each other. Because of this, there is no magma, or a way for the magma to come up.
The san andreas fault has the tectonic plates sliding past each other, but when a volcano forms, it forms due to subduction. (plates going under another plate)

Because volcanoes can not form n a fault.
Because volcanoes cant form on a fault line.
Because volcanos aren't capable of forming on a fault.
Because volcanoes can't from on faults.
Volcanos don't form along the San Anders fault because there is no plates beneath it. That is a strike-slip fault.
form*
Because its a strike slip fault.

Because volcanoes can't form faults
In a strike-slip fault the plates move past each other.

Volcanoes don't formo n faults
They do not form along the San Andreas because they can not from on the fault.
Because volcanoes can not form in a fault.
Line
Volcanoes don't form on faults.
Valvone Can not turn into a fault.
There is no subduction.....So it can't form a volcano.
Because REASONS!
Volcanoes don't form on faults.
Volcanoes can not form on a fault line.
Volcanoes don't form on faults.
There is no subduction and its not possible for a fault to have a volcano
The reason that volcanoes don't form on the San Andreas fault is because volcanoes can't form on faults.
The san andreas fault has the tectonic plates sliding past each other, but when a volcano forms, it forms due to subduction. (plates going under another plate)
There is no subduction. That means no volcanos will form.
NO SUBDUCTION? IM NOT SMART, I GUESS!!!
Because there is no pressure to push the magma and land up.
There is no subduction. That means no volcanos will form.
there is no subduction
Theres no pressure to push the magma and land up.
if there is no subduction there will be volcanoes but if there is subduction there will be no volcaneos
because there is no presure to push them up.

Volcanoes do not form on the San Andreas fault because that fault is caused by two plates sliding past each other.
Because volcanos can not form on faults.
Volcanos can not form on faults because it is caused by plates sliding.
Because volcanoes don't form on faults.
Because it's not a subduction fault.
it is not hot spot !
Because volcanoes can not form on faults, It is not possible.
Because it is not a subduction fault
Because that is only where the plates rub together
A volcano is not capable of forming on a fault and there is no subduction
