Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

San Andreas is a prominent example of a transform fault, in which the plates namely the Pacific Plate and the North American plate slide past each other. The movement of the associated plates in this fault is in the right lateral, strike-slip. With the continuous and rapid movement of both the plates in its respective direction, the west side of the fault would get detached from the fault zone and lead to the formation of an island. The movement of the plates along this fault is responsible for the occurrence of shallow focus tremendous earthquakes.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

zheka24 [161]

Masja [62]
<h2>Answer: C) stars in these regions are hidden by interstellar dust grains.</h2>

Explanation:

Some areas of the Milky Way seem dark because those are areas of the galaxy that are hidden by huge columns of interstellar dust that we cannot see through the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum (which is the range in which our eyes see).

However, to solve this problem, astronomers use telescopes that work in the range of infrared and radio waves, to observe a little more through this intersetelar dust.
