<h2>Answer:</h2>

Californian San Andreas fault continents is moving relative to one another.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

California is between two plates namely the Northern American Plate and the Pacific Plate that are moving slowly past each other. The Pacific plate moves in the northwest direction at the rate of 46 mm/year with reference to the Northern American Plate.  

It is believed that the motion was triggered by the strike-slip earthquake that occurred on the fault San Andreas. The fault by nature is a transform fault which extends approximately 1200 kilometer through California. There are three segments dividing the faults each with different degree of earthquakes.

Water near the equator is warmer than water at the poles. Which sentence explains why?
shusha [124]

Hi there!

You will have already be known that the <em>sun's rays are closest to the equatorial regions</em> <em>than</em> the <em>polar regions</em>. So the stronger heat rays reach the equator first, heating it's water faster. Within the span of time when the rays reach the polar areas (poles), the sun rays become slanted, leading it into the ocean waters.

Also, the sharpness or intensity of the rays gets weakened, thereby heating the water of polar regions less.

Using this fact, we can say that the rays falling near the equator heats the water more than the rays heating the water at poles.

Hence, we can say that <u>D) </u><u>T</u><u>he sun heats earth and it ocean unevenly</u> will be your answer.

Thank you !

BD is the angle bisector of ZABC
Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

x = 7, y = 2

Explanation:

Two triangles are said to be congruent if all three sides and three angles of one triangle is equal to three sides and three angles of the other triangle.

From the question:

BD ≅ BD (reflexive property of equality)

Since BD is the angle bisector of ∠ABC, hence ∠ABD = ∠CBD

∠ABD = 2x + y, ∠CBD = 14 + y. Therefore:

2x + y = 14 + y

2x = 14 + y - y

2x = 14

x = 14 / 2

x = 7

Also, ∠BAD = ∠BCD = 90° (right angled triangle)

Since ∠BAD = ∠BCD, BD ≅ BD and ∠ABD = ∠CBD, therefore ΔABD is congruent to ΔCBD by angle-angle-side congruence theorem.

The angle-angle-side congruence theorem states that if two angles and one side of one triangle is equal to two angles and one side of another triangle the both triangles are congruent.

ΔABD is congruent to ΔCBD, therefore AD = CD

5x - y = x + 13y

13y + y = 5x - x

14y = 4x

14y = 4(7)

y = 4(7) / 14

y = 2

What are *TWO* measures introduced by the US and local governments to reduce the consumption of gas?
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

Two measures that have been introduced by the US and local governments to reduce the consumption of  gas are the introduction of light-rail and the use of carpool lanes.  

Explanation:

The introduction of light-rail will reduce the consumption of gas from personal vehicles and also reduce personal vehicle carbon emissions. One example is the Dallas Area Rapid Transit (DART) and Los Angeles has a system that combines light rail and heavy rail called Metro Rail. The use of carpool lanes will reduce the use of gas and help to reduce traffic congestion because there will be less cars on the road in high traffic areas where there is a large percentage of the population who commutes to and from work on freeways. Carpool lanes or High Capacity Vehicle (HCV) lanes are found in metropolitan areas like Washington DC.

Rank the following foods from lowest (1) to highest (4) glycemic index. carrots baked potatokidney beans white rice lowest highe
svetlana [45]

Answer:

Explanation:

  To rank these foods in the amount of sugars, I will first explain the index I will use, which is called the glycemic index. This index is based on the classification of carbohydrate-rich foods according to how they affect blood glucose levels, popularly known as blood sugar.

  The higher the glycemic index, the easier the food is digested and absorbed in the gut, increasing the glycemia. Thus, the foods were divided into 3 categories:

Low IG: 55 or less

Average IG: 56 - 69

High IG: 70 or more

 Based on this, the lowest to highest glycemic level food ranks as follows: beans, liver, carrots, white rice and baked potatoes.
