X = 3
AC = 8
explanation:
to find the value of x:
set AB + BC = AC
2x + x - 1 = 5x - 7
x = 3
to find the value of AC:
plug in x (3) into the AC expression
5(3) - 7 = ?
AC = 8
The two most common minerals located in Earth's crust are B) Feldspar and quartz
(Earth Science- Geology, the Environment, and the Universe book)
The correct answer is - True.
The transform boundaries of the tectonic plates are boundaries where two tectonic plates are sliding against each other. As they do that, they do create geological activity around the boundary, and earthquakes are a common occurrence. Another trademark of these boundaries are the faults, that stretch for several km in a linear manner, usually parallel to the boundary itself. Most of these faults are located in the ocean basins and they are connecting the offsets of the mid-ocean ridges, but they can also be found on land, like it is the case in California.
There are several reasons that rain predictions made by meteorologists are sometimes incorrect, such as :
- Too many factors that could cause the rain
- Some of those factors could easily change in a short period of time
- We still hasn't developed a 100% solid method to make the prediction
hope this helps
