Summary

Description
English: Much of the length of the San Andreas Fault is lined by a distinct trough. This false-colour radar image shows a section of the fault west of San Francisco Bay; the Crystal Springs Reservoir fills the trough that marks the underlying fault. The black line curving along the east side of the fault is I-280, and California highway 92 runs from the top right across to the centre left of the image, heading towards Half Moon Bay to the west. San Mateo and Burlingame are parts of the large urbanized area in various tones of pink and green, and Foster City is the area of curved streets extending out into the San Francisco Bay at the top right.
