When the location of these offsets were plotted on a map, he noted that they made a near perfect line on top of the fault he previously discovered. He began by surveying and mapping offsets (such as fences or roads that had been sliced in half) along surface ruptures. In the wake of the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, Lawson was tasked with deciphering the origin of the earthquake. The fault was first identified in 1895 by Professor Andrew Lawson of UC Berkeley. Sediment deposited by the Colorado River is preventing the trough from being filled in with sea water from the gulf. In this region (known as the Salton Trough), the plate boundary has been rifting and pulling apart, creating a new mid-ocean ridge that is an extension of the Gulf of California. Here, the plate motion is being reorganized from right-lateral to divergent. In the south, the fault terminates near Bombay Beach, California in the Salton Sea. It has been hypothesized that a major earthquake along the subduction zone could rupture the San Andreas Fault and vice versa. In the north, the fault terminates offshore near Eureka, California at the Mendocino Triple Junction, where three tectonic plates meet. The average slip rate along the entire fault ranges from 20 to 35 mm (0.79 to 1.38 in) per year. Traditionally, for scientific purposes, the fault has been classified into three main segments (northern, central, and southern), each with different characteristics and a different degree of earthquake risk. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. The San Andreas Fault is a continental right-lateral strike-slip transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through the Californias.

Irredeemable, has just snagged director Adam McKay, and The Empty Man is currently in preproduction. Meanwhile, Boom! has been revving up several of its smash graphic novels to take the leap from printed page to big screen. We wait to see just where the film will land on Peyton's busy slate, given that he's also got Rampage, Journey 3 and San Andreas 2 in various stages of development. Executive producing with Wan are Peyton and his partner Jeff Fierson, with Boom! Studios’ Adam Yoelin, Stephen Christy and Ross Richie co-producing and Matt Reilly and Ryan Jones overseeing for Fox. Wan, who has just come off the second installments of The Conjuring and Insidious, will be producing Malignant Man under his Atomic Monster label. He is assigned to fight an evil army creeping under the skin of society, as he slowly unravels secrets about his path that lead to the truth about what seems to be a symbiotic connection between him and the parasite. Not unlike like the genetically engineered spiders that bite Peter Parker and turn him into a web-slinging superhuman, the alien bloodsucker mutates Gates into something of a hybrid hero with a new lease on life. What he thought was a tumor is actually an alien parasite that has been unknowingly giving Gates a transfusion of paranormal powers. Malignant Man is the story of terminal cancer patient Alex Gates, who believes that a malignant tumor is gnawing away at what days he has left until he finds out the even more ghastly truth. He'll be teaming up with James Wan to co-direct Malignant Man, the Boom! Studios graphic novel about a cancer-patient-turned-mutant-hero which Wan co-wrote and Fox is adapting to film. San Andreas director Brad Peyton will be taking on disasters of a more supernatural kind for his new project.
