The San Andreas fault is a transform tectonic plate boundary, which means that the two conflicting plates slide against each other, rather than shelf or collide and curve upwards or downwards, the most common ways volcanoes form. Because no pressure is forcing magma or land up, it is unlikely that volcanoes would form on the San Andreas fault line, however with these types of boundaries, earthquakes are more common.
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.
No volcanoes can be made because since it is a strike slip fault, the plates move past each other rather than curving or bending, which will make the fault open up, but the strike slip fault does not do this, the plates are only just moving past one another.
Volcanoes don't form along the San Andreas Fault because it is a strike-slip fault. This means that neither plate is being subjected 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.

Volcanoes can't form on the San Andreas fault because it's a strike slip fault. A strike slip fault is when the plates slip past each other making there to be no way for the magma to come up so there is no volcanoes that can form there.
Volcanoes don't form along the san Andreas fault because it is a slip fault strike the plates are not going underneath each other but they are scraping against each other.______________________________________________
Volcanos generally form on top of Destructive Plate boundaries, where the less dense Oceanic Crust sub ducts underneath the more dense continental crust
volcanoes can not form on the san Andreas fault because it is a strike slip fault and the earths surface never pull apart they just rub together so lava can not leave the earths core

Volcanos do form there because dense continental crust.
Why volcanoes don't form along the San Andreas fault is because its a strike-slip fault not a normal or reverse fault.
Volcanoes don't form along the San Andreas fault b/c the fault line isn't experiencing ripping or subduction along its boundaries.

Volcanoes do not form on the san Andreas fault because earthquakes only form there.SCIENCE IS REAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The San Andreas fault is a transform tectonic plate boundry.
The San Andreas Fault half is in Hawii and Japan, And the other half is in Iceland and New York.
Volcanoes can't form on the San Andreas fault because it's a strike slip fault. A strike slip fault is when the plates slip past each other making there to be no way for the magma to come up so there is no volcanoes that can form there.
The plates are sliding next to eachother not under or over.
It's not the right type of fault to form a volcano.
Volcanoes do not form on the San Andreas fault line because of the tectonic plates in the area.
Cause they plates don't go under each other and thats what needs to happen to have a volcano.
Volcanoes don't form on the San Andreas fault because it is a strike-slip fault.
Volcanoes don't form along the san Andreas fault because it is a slip fault strike the plates are not going underneath each other but they are scraping against each other.______________________________________________

Volcanoes can't form on the San Andreas fault because it's a strike slip fault.
Volcano do not form on the San Andreas fault because it is a strike-slip fault.
Because the plates move too suddenly.
The plates are to close together and the lave can not get thought.
volcanoes can not form on the san Andreas fault because it is a strike slip fault and the earths surface never pull apart they just rub together so lava can not leave the earths core
Volcanoes do not form along the San Andreas fault because the fault is a strike-slip fault!
Because the San Andreas fault is a slip strike fault and volcanos can't form on those.
Volcanoes don't form on the San Andreas fault because it is a strike-slip fault so it doesn't push land up.
Volcanoes can't form on the San Andreas fault because it's a strike slip fault, and not a subduction zone.

Volcanoes can form because strike slip fault is not right for a volcano.

San Andreas's fault is a strike slip fault, and not a subduction zone, which means that volcanos can't form.
The tectonic plates slide past each other
the plates slide across from eachother
It does not because it is a strike slip fault.
volcanoes do not form along the San Andreas fault because the faults slide against each other,so there is no place for the volcanoes to form.
The San Andreas fault strike slip fault which makes it so volcanos can't form.
It is a slip strike fault.
The San Andreas's fault is a strike-slip fault so that means it doesn't push land up.
swag
And to have a volcano the land as to be pushing up.
Beacuse it's a strike slip fault.
Its A Strike-Slip Fault, Meaning There is No Room For the Land to be pushed up.
The plates slide past each other and no room for a volcano
Since San Andreas is a strike slip fault, not a subduction zone, no magma can reach the top of the Earth, so that means NO VOLCANOS.
Volcanoes cannot form from the San Andreas fault because it's a stripe slip fault and volcanoes cannot form from those.
There can't be a volcano because the two plate slide together smoothly.
The San Andreas fault is the plates are rubbing against each other.
There is not a volcano on the San Andreas fault because the faults slide atop one other so a volcano could form.
Volcanoes slide agents each other so magma can no slip thought the plates and form a volcano.
