This will cause deformation of the rocks around the fault zone. This stores energy in the form of elastic strain. Ultimately if the stress exceeds the shear strength of the fault, brittle deformation will occur and the stored energy will be released in part as seismic waves causing an earthquake.
The San Andreas fault is where it occured.
No. As a transform fault, the San Andreas Fault cannot produce volcanism.
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.
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
The most noteworthy is the San Andreas fault.

No, the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault, not a normal fault.
I think you will ind that it is the San Andreas Fault line.
