Continental crust is the crust that moves the continents, and is less dense. Oceanic crust is the crust that contains oceans, and is more dense. With the O.C being less dense, if the two collide, the O.C will go under the C.C, forming a subduction zone.

The San Andreas fault is a strike-slip fault. What type of plate boundary is
zalisa [80]

Answer:

It is classified as a right lateral (dextral) strike-slip fault. Although both plates are moving in a north westerly direction, the Pacific Plate is moving faster than the North American Plate, so the relative movement of the North American Plate is to the south east.

Explanation:

The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and its motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal).

Which type of soil can retain the greatest amount of water- high porosity, low porosity, low permeability or high permeability
topjm [15]
The answer is: HIGH POROSITY.
________________________________
(although low permeability can be associated with greater water retention. Permeability can be affected by particular size.  For instance, larger particular have larger poles, so fluid (water) can pass through water quickly (higher permeability and less water retention).  As such, smaller particles have smaller pores, so fluid (water) can pass through water LESS quickly (lower permeability and RETAINING MORE WATER.).
_______________________
However, "high porosity" is the best choice.
