Continental shelf is a plateau that stretches under water
Answer: The overall lateral lenght of the San Andreas Fault is estimated by measuring the distance on similar terranes on both sides of the fault (continental x pacific). The lenght is increased by eathquake occurrence (here given as 5m per event) and a regular annual displacement rate (estimated in 0,10m per year).
Also, it is acceptable to consider a time lapse of 45 years between each earthquake (considering the major events of 1857, 1906, 1957 and 1989).
Those values of lenght on the fault are considered to vary from 150 to 350 miles. If we apply simple median arithmethical value of 250 miles between these numbers, against the obtained displacement rate of 5,1 meters (let´s set the annual displacement rate aside to balance) we have: 250 miles divided for 0,003 miles (5,1 meters converted to miles) is equal to: 83.333.
So, more than 80.000 thousand eathquakes (considering the movement was mostly made by these earth intercurrences) would be an acceptable number to account for the total actual displacement on the SAF.
Answer:
false
Explanation:
human geography is the study of people since the beginning of time
I guess no because every where in earth there are different geologic column
