The San Andreas Fault is a major geological feature that runs through California for over 800 miles. It is responsible for many earthquakes in the region, including the San Francisco earthquake of 1906. Hydrology in the region is important, as the fault is responsible for creating natural springs and streams that provide water to surrounding areas. Specific surface flow providers include the San Andreas Creek and the San Andreas River. Snowpack providers include the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Cascade Range. Agriculture is an important use of the land surrounding the fault, with crops such as almonds, avocados, and citrus being grown in the region. Recreational activities include hiking, camping, and fishing in the many parks and wilderness areas surrounding the fault.
