Answer 1

Here is the matching of descriptions to the correct fault lines:

1. Causes people in California to experience earthquakes - San Andreas Fault
2. Causes people in Oregon and Washington to experience earthquakes - Cascadia Subduction Zone
3. Caused an earthquake in 1906 that nearly destroyed San Francisco - San Andreas Fault

The San Andreas Fault is particularly well-known for its seismic activity in California, while the Cascadia Subduction Zone affects the Pacific Northwest, including Oregon and Washington. The 1906 San Francisco earthquake was indeed caused by movement along the San Andreas Fault.
