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.

Cheers!

Layers of the soil are called horizons. Here are the horizons:

  • Humus
  • Topsoil
  • Subsoil
  • Fragmented rock
  • Bedrock

Once a soil has developed, it forms layers called horizons. Beneath a surface layer of a plant remains, the topsoil is rich in decomposed plants and animal matter. The subsoil is mainly mineral particles, with much less organic material. The fragmented rock/bedrock is primarily small stones, and beneath it lies all bedrock.

Hope this answer helps you!
