Answer:

Tectonic plates

Explanation:

In general, earthquakes are due to the immense vibrations from the shifting of tectonic plates. In the specific case of the San Andreas Fault, there is one issue. It is directly on top of a boundary between two tectonic plates. So, when either one of the plates shifts, extreme earthquakes occur due to the location being on top of the source.

C -- Explain the Big Bang Theory using astronomical evidence such as light spectra, motion
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

Regardless of its name, the Big Bang theory found widespread acceptance for its unparalleled ability to explain what we see. The balance of light with particles like protons and neutrons during the first 3 minutes, for instance, let early elements form at a rate predicting the current amounts of helium and other light atoms.

"There was a small window in time where it was possible for nuclei to form," said Glennys Farrar, a cosmologist at New York University. "After that, the universe kept expanding and they couldn't find each other, and before [the window] it was too hot."

A cloudy plasma filled the universe for the next 378,000 years, until further cooling let electrons and protons form neutral hydrogen atoms, and the fog cleared. The light emitted during this process, which has since stretched into microwaves, is the earliest known object researchers can study directly. Known as the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, many researchers consider it the strongest evidence for the Big Bang.

I can't see the picture, but to do the dilation you must first figure out the coordinates of the first image and then figure out what half of it is and add that on to the new image or take that much off of the new image.

*To dilate means to make bigger or smaller
