What the biggest fault?

Why are there so many cracks and ridges along the San Adreas fault?
the plates all around the world shift and move in different directions. So, when the pacific plate and the North American plate move sometimes it gets stuck and builds up pressure. when the pressure is released it gives out millions of seismic waves like an earthquake were to happen which causes cracks or a tsunami

What are some landforms in San Andreas Fault?
Some landforms associated with the San Andreas Fault include valleys (like the Carrizo Plain), mountains (such as the Tehachapi Mountains), and hills (like the Santa Cruz Mountains). These landforms result from the movement of tectonic plates along the fault line.
What is the average rate of displacement along the San Andreas fault?
The average amount of diplacement along the San Andreas Fault is 2 to 5 centimeters (1 to 2 inches) per year.
