The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1300 km in California. It forms tectonic boundary between Pacific plate and North American Plate. Its motion is right-lateral strike-slip. It is divided into three segments, and each of this segments has different characteristics and different degree of earthquake risk. The most significant segment is the southern one, which passes within about 35 miles of Los Angeles. This fault was first identified by professor Andrew Lawson from the UC Berkley in 1895.

Answer:
Texas
Explanation:
Texas can be divided into four large natural regions: the Coastal Plains, North Central Plains, Great Plains, and Mountains and Basins regions. The first three natural regions can also be divided into smaller subregions. The Mountains and Basins region does not have subregions.
More frequent droughts and shifting precipitation patterns lower water levels in rivers, lakes and streams, leaving less water to dilute pollutants. Higher temperatures cause more frequent algal blooms and reduce dissolved oxygen levels, both of which can cause fish kills and do significant harm to ecosystems.
Answer:
Option (B)
Explanation:
The fault usually refers to the planar type of fractures that occurs in the earth's crust. Those faults in which the hanging-wall (H.W) block goes down with respect to the foot-wall (F.W) block is considered as the normal fault. This type of fault occurs due to the tensional force or extensional force.
Here, the rocks move in the opposite direction. This movement of blocks results in the release of a certain amount of energy that leads to the occurrence of shallow-focus earthquakes.
Thus, the correct answer is option (B).
