Assuming that the long term rate of displacement along the San Andreas Fault (about 3.5 cm/year) remains the same and that the l

ocation of the fault remains the same, how long would it take Los Angeles (on the west side of the fault) to move north 620 kilometers to the position of San Francisco (on the east side of the fault)?

Answer:

17.71 years

Explanation:

  • As the crust of the San Andrea is continuously moving due to the tectonic activity and is the main manifest of the tectonic boundary of the North America and the pacific plate. This fault along with the pacific plate will move towards the Los angles and eastern San Francisco as it moves about 3.5 cm per year.
  • As  1 km equals to about 100 000 cm , then the distance of 620 km =  62, 000,000 cm  and 62,000,000 will be divided by 3.5 equal to  17. 71 years to collide with the eastern side.

Where did the original atmospheric oxygen come from
faust18 [17]

The correct answer is - cyanobacteria.

The atmospheric oxygen came from the cyanobacteria. These were one of the earliest living organisms on Earth. The cyanobacteria was using photosynthesis in order to create its own food. The photosynthesis process requires sunlight, carbon dioxide, water, and oxygen. The oxygen is mostly released as a waste product from the process of photosynthesis, thus the cyanobacteria were literally releasing oxygen that was ending up into the atmosphere. As more and more cyanobacteria there were across the planet, more and more oxygen they were releasing into the atmosphere, slowly changing the composition of the atmosphere, and setting the basis of it as we know it now.

What are two of the processes that move tectonic plates over the surface of the earth
antiseptic1488 [7]
One reason is that the plates float on a hot boiling mentle. when the heat rises and the mentle expands the plates above it also moves. 
the other reason is that the plates themselves move.plates have warmer inner sides that tend to rise. and colder outer side that tends to sink. this tug of war between the hotter and colder sides of the plate also helps them move.
