Why did the plates began to slip against each other 30 million years ago forming San Andreas fault

Chemistry
1 answer:
Jlenok [28]4 years ago
6 0

The currents of the mantle pull the crust above it through drag. The plates, therefore, move on top of the mantle. At San Andreas fault, the North American Plate met the Pacific plate. However, due to the presence of the  Farallon plate that was disappearing into the mantle in a subduction zone, the Pacific and North American plates movements changed in their configuration. The two plates now move past each other. The San Andreas fault is, therefore, a strike-slip fault.

Name a cause and effect for each of the following:
ddd [48]

Deforestation, Desertification and Urbanization are very closely related phenomenon whose cause and effects are briefly discussed below.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Deforestation is caused due to cutting of trees for economic purposes and other poachers.

Deforestation effects the natural habitat of the animals of forests leading to endangering of different plants and animals. It also reduces diversity of environment, causes global warming, change in climate, rainfall patterns etc.

Desertification is caused due to deforestation, due to natural calamities like forest fires, overgrazing and even due to over population.

Desertification causes a huge loss to environment. Erosion of soil, deepening of ground water levels, loss of rainfall, draught are common. Rise in temperature and change of climates are also seen.

Urbanisation is caused by main two reasons - over population and rural to urban migration of people.

Urbanization has several good effects like growth of technologies etc. But it also increases disease rates due to increase in pollution. Several mental stress and depression are also seen to affect urban people more than rural ones.
