Answer:

140 years is average duration of an earthquake.

Explanation:

  • The Hayward fault is a geologic fault that is capable of massive destruction and is 119 km long fault western base of hills of San Francisco and is parallel to the San Andreas fault. The occurrence of an earthquake of 6.8 magnitudes in 1868 was biggest earthquake in California history.  
  • Recently various geologists have taken time interval of the past five large earthquakes and based on the past earthquakes data the interval of 140 years it will take to the formation of a large earthquake.

What are the two textures of evaporitic rocks?
makvit [3.9K]

Explanation:

The two textures of the Evaporitic rocks are as follows -

1. Evaporitic rock textures show the same type of cyclicity which appears to be related to the chemical composition and salinity of the brine from which minerals are precipitating via the water evaporation and concentration of the brine. Permian evaporites of Germany show this type of texture.

2. To recognize evaporitic formation it requires recognition of halite pseudomorph, sequence composed some proportion of evaporite minerals, and also recognition of mud crack textures .

If we were to construct an accurate scale model of the solar system on a football field with the Sun at one end and Neptune at t
natima [27]

If we were to construct an accurate scale model of the solar system on a football field with the Sun at one end and Neptune at the other, the planet closest to the center of the field would be Uranus

<u>Explanation:</u>

The solar system is very big. There is space that is empty or vacuum between  the planets. The mass of all other planets when summed up, it will be lesser than the sun's mass.Uranus is at a distance of 38 yards from end zone. It is about a distance of 19 AU from that of the sun. Only one satellite visited Uranus.

When an accurate scale model of solar system is constructed having sun in one end and Neptune in the other then Uranus will be close to the center of the field. the planets like Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune are called as Jovian planets.

What are four pieces of evidence for continental drift?
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

- Shape of the continents

- Fossils of the same species found on continents that are not connected

- Evidence of ice sheets in places that are hot in the present

- Mid-ocean ridges

Explanation:

The continental drift theory is a theory that suggests that the continents are always on the move, thus they change their shape, location, collide with each other, move away from each other etc.

The shape of South America and Africa is one of the evidences. If the shapes of the continents are taken out of a map, and the eastern coast of South America and western coast of Africa are merged, they fit in perfectly.

There are numerous fossils of the same species of animals and plants that have been found all over the world, even though the continents are isolated and separated by water bodies.

In some places that are very hot in the presence, like South Africa, have evidence of ice sheets. In the current conditions that is simply not possible considering that the temperature in this part of the world goes well over 40 C degrees.

The mid-ocean ridges are very nice proof of the continental drift theory. They are one of the evidence that can be observed in the present, where new crust is constantly forming and pilling up, while pushing the old crust sideways further away from it.
