Answer:

Pacific plate

Explanation:

The movement of North American and Pacific plates cause earthquakes in California.  The Pacific plate is moving northwest. It moves horizontally past the North American plate, its rate of movement is two inches per year. This horizontal movement causes earthquakes in California.

The boundary between these two plates is known as San Andrea fault.  Pacific plate is the largest tectonic plate with an area of 103 square kilometres, it lies beneath the pacific ocean.

Hawaiian Islands were also formed 4.5 million years ago due to a hot spot in the middle of Pacific plate.  

So the correct answer is pacific plate.

Why isn’t there just one history.?
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

Cause, it most likely started by making root histories. Example in like world history they only highlighted the history from Europe and surrounding countries. In American history they highlighted the history from the ones that came over from Europe.What they failed to do is recognize other culures, like African-American history, Mexican American history, or Asian history. (Sorry if I missed anyone) And now all of these histories are available.

It would be almost impossible but it would be wonderful if someone would put all those different histories into the world and or American history. That way you get a broad idea of what people had to do, what they lived through, their accomplishments in society, or to the world. This would stop the stereotypes, and lies we are told regarding other races, and or cultures. It would certainly bridge many gaps that we see in the world today. It would also help all of us to know each other better.
