Movement along the San Andreas Fault system has produced major earthquakes, including the 1857 Fort Tejon earthquake, the devastating San Francisco earthquake of 1906, and the San Francisco earthquake of 1989. The Northridge earthquake of 1994 notably did not involve the San Andreas Fault; it occurred on a separate, previously unknown blind thrust fault.
