There are a few reasons why earthquakes are so common in California. First of all California has many, many fault lines. Also in California there are two plates the Pacific Plate and the North American plate, the Pacific plate moves past the North American plate about two inches each year. The strain of the two plates also contributes to the earthquakes.
Hope it helps!
Answer:
The interaction along plate boundaries results in an increased frequency of earthquakes at those locations. Additionally, stronger earthquakes are more likely to occur along active plate boundaries. Strong earthquakes are more common at transform and convergent plate boundaries

Answer:
The current amount of the Potassium-40 sample is approximately 37.521 grams.
Explanation:
The amount of the sample of the radioactive isotope decays exponentially in time, the amount of mass of the sample as a function of time (
), in grams, is described below:
(1)
Where:
- Initial mass, in grams.
- Time, in years.
- Time constant, in years.
The time constant can be found from half life (
), in years, described in statement:
(2)
If we know that 
, 
and 
, then the current amount of the sample is:
The current amount of the Potassium-40 sample is approximately 37.521 grams.
