The Stonehenge monument located in the city of Salisbury, England. The large <span>Stonehenge’s </span> stones are called sarsens. They are <span>sandstone blocks and are </span>up to 30 feet (9 meters) tall and weigh 25 tons (22.6 metric tons) on average. According the science they were brought from Marlborough Downs, a distance of 20 miles (32 kilometers) to the north. The name Sarsens comes "Saracen stones". Saracen" was a common name for Muslims<span>, and came by extension to be used for anything regarded as non-Christian, whether Muslim, pagan Celtic, or other.</span>
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
I believe the answer for that is altitude
hope it helped
