Answer:

The correct Answer is E) It was an oceanic plate that used to exist between the Pacific and North American Plates.

Explanation:

The Farallon Plate was an ancient oceanic plate that started subducting under the west coast of the North American Plate which was then located in modern Utah as Pangaea broke apart during the Jurassic period. It is named after Farallon Islands, which are located just west of San Francisco, California.

The geological process that occurs at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate shifts under another and is forced to sink due to high gravitational potential energy into the mantle is known as Subduction. Subduction zones are areas or regions where this process occurs.

If angle a = 11o, what does angle b equal?

xxTIMURxx [149]

It depends on what you're asking. If angle a and b are both on a straight line, b would equal 169 degrees because the total has to add up to 180 degrees, but if they are on a right angle, b would equal 79 because it has to add up to 90 degrees.
