The largest geographical fault in California is the San Andres fault. This large fault is responsible for the largest quakes to hit the state. The San Jacinto, Elsinore, and Imperial are smaller parallel faults to the San Andres.
one is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Geological faults are planar fractures. More information can be found on sites such as Wikipedia, as well as the California Geological Survey website.
Deep furrows in the ground or ocean floor are faults. San Andreas fault in California is a prime example, having displacement hundreds of kilometers long. Two kinds of faults are dip-slip faults and strike-slip faults.
There are over 247 identified faults or fault systems in the state of California. Southern California alone experiences over 10,000 earthquakes a year, hundreds above Magnitude 3.0 . Two large quakes Sylmar at 6:00:55 a.m. PST on February 9, 1971, and The Northridge earthquake occurred at 4:30 a.m. PST on January 17, 1994, both occurred on previously unknown faults
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
strike-slip faults where they move laterally
247 faults or fault systems as of December 30, 2008.

features
California's area is 163,696 square miles.
The movement of the Pacific and North American plates produced California's major geological features. These features include faults, volcanoes, mountain ranges, and basins.
Because they realy dont create any prominent geographical or geological feature/landform.
