<h2>Answer:</h2>

Sediments in the east of Missouri are younger as they are from the Pleistocene age whereas the sediments in the west are a bit older since they consist of Precambrian rocks.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The river Missouri is the longest river in North America. It is also one of the oldest rivers of the continent. Missouri is known for its richness in sediments. It originates from the rocky mountains of western Montana and joins the Mississippi River.

Missouri brings a lot of sediments along with its flow and these sediments are different in the east and west parts.

Kisachek [45]

Answer:

17.71 years

Explanation:

As the crust of the San Andrea is continuously moving due to the tectonic activity and is the main manifest of the tectonic boundary of the North America and the pacific plate. This fault along with the pacific plate will move towards the Los angles and eastern San Francisco as it moves about 3.5 cm per year.

As 1 km equals to about 100 000 cm , then the distance of 620 km = 62, 000,000 cm and 62,000,000 will be divided by 3.5 equal to 17. 71 years to collide with the eastern side.
