<u>ANSWER:</u>

The cities of San Francisco and Los Angeles will get close together over time.

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

  • San Francisco is located on the North America Plate which is moving south-east. Los Angeles is on the 'Pacific Plate' which is moving north-west.
  • Los Angeles lies '340 miles south' of San Francisco at present. The movement of these two tectonic plates will lead Los Angeles to move to the north of 'San Francisco'.
  • This will take a lot of time; almost 16 million years because the 'tectonic plates' move at a 'very slow pace'.

According to some scientists, which is a cause of global warming?
insens350 [35]

Answer:

Changes in solar energy

Explanation:

When released into the atmosphere, certain gases act like a blanket, preventing heat from escaping. One of the most important heat-trapping gases is carbon dioxide (CO2), which is released when we burn fossil fuels like oil, coal, and natural gas.

Once released, carbon dioxide stays in the atmosphere for roughly 40 years, though its effects stay much longer; other gases, like methane, are even longer-lived. The cumulative effect is to raise the planet’s temperature.
