The grand canyon got his name from from John Wesley Powell.
The answer is the Cold War as the world was divided between the Warsaw pact of the east and NATO of the West.
There are multiple reasons for the variations in type, quality, and quantity in minerals, such as:
- place of formation, on the surface, or inside the ground and how deep inside.
- pressure; extremely important for the structure of the minerals as well as the mixing of mineral types.
- temperature; similar to the pressure, in fact in combination with it, affects the structure of the minerals.
- tectonic activity and volcanic activity; cause the other factors and are also responsible for the quantity of minerals.
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
