San Francisco is very close to a fault, or a place where 2 tectonic plates meet and push against each other. When these plates shift it causes seismic activity, or strong waves of force. These waves of force are so strong that they move and shake the earth, these are called tremors, and they turn are what you feel during an earthquake. When more shakes are felt, the energy released is called an aftershock. What caused the San Francisco earthquake was the shifting of tectonic plates. I hope I helped you learn! brainliest would be much appreciated because I am trying to rank up!!

Imagine that you were President Ford when he was trying to decide whether to pardon Nixon. Use the table below to list the pros
UNO [17]

Some of the pros for pardoning Nixon by President Ford include:

  • It would put the Watergate Scandal to rest.
  • It would further expose to government to scrutiny which might lead to a loss of public trust.

Some of the cons for pardoning Nixon were:

  • It would be an unpopular move that would cost Ford support.
  • Nixon would have escaped justice.

<h3>What were pros and cons of pardoning Nixon?</h3>

If Nixon was pardoned, it would have the benefit of putting the Watergate Scandal to rest. This was important because the issue was polarizing the nation.

Taking a former president to trial would have also led to the people losing confidence in the position of the President which would have been very negative.

On the other hand, Nixon had committed a crime and should be punished like everyone else and pardoning him would mean he would escape this justice. Most people were also against a pardon at the time.
