Answer:

The boundary between the Pacific and North American plates in California is a transform plate boundary marked by the San Andreas strike-slip fault.

Answer:

To the east, the North American plate shares the Mid-Atlantic Ridge with the Eurasian plate. This divergent margin, offset throughout by transform faults, began spreading approximately 180 Ma ago, opening the North Atlantic Ocean. Evidence of Mesozoic juvenile crust formation in New England can be correlated with the event.

Explanation:

The San Andreas transform boundary between the Pacific and North American plate originates from the shallow, oblique subduction by the North American plate of the Monterey microplate

The Monterey-Pacific ridge stopped spreading and Monterey accreted to the Pacific plate. As a result, the Pacific plate’s motion with respect to the North American rotated, transforming a network of shallow faults into dextral transform faults

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

In explanation you see the answer but it I see it send it  different  so I just added a file so you can see clearly the way how this exercise works. Please, see the file attached

Explanation:

Let x = circumference of the circle

then

(53-x) = the perimeter of the square

and \frac{53-\times}{4} = the side of the square

and

\left(\frac{53-\times}{4}\right)^2 = the area of the square

:

Find the area of the circle using the circumference

find the radius (r)

2*pi*r = x

r = \frac{\times}{2*\mathbit{\pi}}

r = \frac{\times}{6.28}

Find the area of the circle

\mathbit{A}=\pi r^2

Replace r with \frac{\times}{6.28}

A = π * \left(\frac{\times}{6.28}\right)^2=  * \left(\frac{\times^2}{39.48}\right)      

cancel pi into 39.48

A =  \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)

Total area of circle and square

A =  \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)+\left(\frac{53-\times}{4}\right)^2  = \left(\frac{\times^2}{12.566}\right)  + \left(\frac{{2809-106\times+\times}^2}{16}\right)

:

convert these fractions to decimal coefficients

A(x) = .0796x^2 + .0625x^2 - 6.625x + 175.5625

A(x) = .1421x^2 - 6.625x + 175.5625

:

Find the axis of symmetry of this quadratic equation (min area)

x =   \frac{-\left(-6.625\right)}{2*.1421}

x =   \frac{6.625}{.2842}

x = 23.31 cm is the circumference when they have min area

Country with the largest area of temperate deciduous forest is called
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

The correct answer is U.S

Explanation:

The Deciduous Temperate Forest or Stylist is a type of temperate environment that can be found in the United States, Canada, China, Europe, Japan, Russia and Korea. It is typical of the areas near the polar circle. The trees of this ecosystem lose their leaves in winter time and reappear in the rainy and dry season. Due to its great extent, the United States has the vast majority of this type of forest, followed by Canada.
