in California has two tectonic plates which are the Pacific Plate and the North American plate, the Pacific plate moves past the North American plate about two inches each year.

Further Explanation:

<u>California is known to be capable to produce earthquakes which are of as high intensity as magnitude of 8 and in recent times, It's tectonic plates have started to move for the first time on record.</u> The 160 mile long Garlock fault which is on the northern edge of the Mojave district, never observed the production of earthquake or large or even a small magnitude. But a recent satellite radar image has shown that over the last few years, there has been movement on that fault which is causing a bulging of land which can be viewed even from the space.  

Along with the Garlock fault, there is one more major concern that is able to produce Earthquake of 8 magnitudes in California. That is, there is a potential ripening fault zone which goes along with the <u>Eastern California Shear Zone which is known to carry state’s most seismic zones and takes because of that, the most of the burden which comes because of the earthquake is absorbed  which is needed to accommodate tectonic plate movement as in California</u>.

There are a few reasons why earthquakes are so common in California. First of all California has many, many fault lines. Also in California there are two plates the Pacific Plate and the North American plate, the Pacific plate moves past the North American plate about two inches each year. The strain of the two plates also contributes to the earthquakes.
Hope it helps!

12. Which of the following is an example of self-determination?
Papessa [141]

An example of self-determination is the creation of Czechia and Slovakia.

Explanation:

The self-determination basically means that through the will of the people, a certain goal is a achieved usually(not always though) in peaceful manner, in this case ending a country and creating two new ones. Initially it was one country, Czechoslovakia. This country was composed of two main groups of people, the Czechs and Slovaks, and they peacefully collaborated and coexisted as a unit for several decades.

With the fall of the communism though, it became clear that the Czechs and the Slovaks have different ideals, and that they move into different directions. The people voted in a democratic manner to end the existence of Czechoslovakia, and to form to separate countries roughly divided with a border based on ethnic base. The formation of the new countries happened indeed and it was in totally peaceful manner, with the two countries retaining good relations.

Other examples of self-determination are:

  • Creation of Macedonia, Serbia, Croatia, Slovenia, Bosnia out of Yugoslavia
  • Creation of Austria and Hungary out of the Austria-Hungary Empire
  • Creation of the Baltic states out of the Soviet Union
  • Creation of Bulgaria, Greece, Lebanon etc. from the Ottoman Empire

Compare and contrast the marine temperature regime of Vancouver with the continental regime of Winnipeg. What significant differ
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Its climate dictatorships of Vancouver, as well as Winnipeg, are very different from one's different destinations. As just a marine location, Vancouver does have a fairly stable varies with temperature to Winnipeg that has an erratic pattern of sharp images. Its key aspect was its climate pattern throughout the year long. Vancouver is indeed a coastal city and therefore the effect of its water body largely regulates its freezing point. The distinction between autumn as well as winter peaks is, therefore, close to zero. Its highest warm weather is about 19°C as well as the lowest winter about 5°C, giving a roughly annual range of temperatures of 14°C.

Winnipeg, on the other hand, is a mainland internal destination. Its highest temperatures are 27°C, whereas the smallest temperatures can be -10°C. Therefore the annual range of temperatures is 37°C. So, the patterns of weather are genuinely different.
