The correct answer is - (4).

California is located over a transform plate boundary, which essentially means that it is a plate boundary where the plates are sliding past each other. Because of this, there's horizontal movement supported by the horizontal pressures. The movement of the plates in this manner causes lot of unrest and adjustments into the deeper parts of the crust. Because of those unrest's and adjustments a lot of earthquakes appear in the region, but also the trademark feature of these types of boundaries, the faults. The faults in this type of boundary are parallel, linear, cracks on the ground, and they are parallel to the movement of the plates.

San Andreas Fault's plate motion is represented by block diagram 4. The plate motion can be described as a right-lateral strike slip fault or a dextral fault. This is classified as a strike slip fault because there is little or no vertical movement between the two plates.

Why does the oceanic crust sink beneath the continental crust at the subduction zone
Sholpan [36]

Answer:

oceanic crust sinks because it is denser and has higher specific gravity than the more silicon aluminum enriched continental crust. What drives substitution is convection and conduction in outer core of earth, that heat , only a small part of which is due radioactive isotopes, has to make it's way to Earth's surface by both conduction and convection. Iron and nickel o have the highest specific gravities of the 10 most common elements in the Milky Way Galaxy. This is why oceanic crust sinks and is subducted continental crust has to have a lot more force applied before it inks, because it doesn't want to sink.

Determine the value of X in the figure.<br><br> A: 4/3<br><br> B: 4<br><br> C: -4<br><br> D: 8
Rasek [7]
The answer is B.
This is because the triangle is an isosceles triangle, meaning that the answer to 4x-8 = x+4
You can rearrange this question to put the x’s on both sides and the integers on both sides so that 4x-x = 4 + 8. This cancels down to 3x = 12. To find x, divide 12 by 3, which is 4.
To check this answer, you can input 4 into both of the equations. (4 x 4) - 8 = 8, and 4 + 4 is also 8. Hence, you know x = 4.

Another, more time-consuming way of doing this question would be to simply input each possible value (A, B, C and D) into both equations until the both equations came out with the same number.
Hope this helped :)

Write the differences &amp; similarities between plains &amp; rivers. WILL GIVE BRAINIEST
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

The river plain can also known as just plains that are formed with minimum elevation. Rivers plains mainly occurs along the bottoms of valleys, near mountains.In geography, a plain is a flat, sweeping landmass that generally does not change much in elevation. Plains occur as lowlands along valleys or on the doorsteps of mountains, as coastal plains, and as plateaus or uplands. A coastal plain is a piece of land that is lying low and adjacent to the sea coast.

A river is a natural flowing watercourse, usually freshwater, flowing towards an ocean, sea, lake or another river. In some cases a river flows into the ground and becomes dry at the end of its course without reaching another body of water.
