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.
ReplyDeleteBecause volcanoes cant form on a fault line.
ReplyDeleteBecause volcanos aren't capable of forming on a fault.
ReplyDeleteBecause volcanoes can't from on faults.

DeleteVolcanos don't form along the San Anders fault because there is no plates beneath it. That is a strike-slip fault.
ReplyDeleteIn a strike-slip fault the plates move past each other.
DeleteBecause its a strike slip fault.

ReplyDeleteVolcanoes don't formo n faults

DeleteThey do not form along the San Andreas because they can not from on the fault.
ReplyDeleteBecause volcanoes can not form in a fault.
ReplyDeleteVolcanoes don't form on faults.
ReplyDeleteValvone Can not turn into a fault.
ReplyDeleteThere is no subduction.....So it can't form a volcano.
ReplyDeleteBecause REASONS!
ReplyDeleteVolcanoes don't form on faults.
ReplyDeleteVolcanoes can not form on a fault line.
ReplyDeleteVolcanoes don't form on faults.
ReplyDeleteThere is no subduction and its not possible for a fault to have a volcano
ReplyDeleteThe reason that volcanoes don't form on the San Andreas fault is because volcanoes can't form on faults.
ReplyDeleteThe 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)
ReplyDeleteThere is no subduction. That means no volcanos will form.
ReplyDeleteNO SUBDUCTION? IM NOT SMART, I GUESS!!!
ReplyDeleteBecause there is no pressure to push the magma and land up.
ReplyDeleteThere is no subduction. That means no volcanos will form.
ReplyDeletethere is no subduction
ReplyDeleteTheres no pressure to push the magma and land up.
ReplyDeleteif there is no subduction there will be volcanoes but if there is subduction there will be no volcaneos
ReplyDeletebecause 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.
ReplyDeleteBecause volcanos can not form on faults.
ReplyDeleteVolcanos can not form on faults because it is caused by plates sliding.
ReplyDeleteBecause volcanoes don't form on faults.
ReplyDeleteBecause it's not a subduction fault.
ReplyDeleteit is not hot spot !
ReplyDeleteBecause volcanoes can not form on faults, It is not possible.
ReplyDeleteBecause it is not a subduction fault
ReplyDeleteBecause that is only where the plates rub together
ReplyDeleteA volcano is not capable of forming on a fault and there is no subduction
