Geography
1 answer:
morpeh [17]3 years ago
3 0

Usually, the rock is moving along large cracks in Earth's crust called faults. Most earthquakes happen at or near the boundaries between Earth's tectonic plates because that's where there is usually a large concentration of faults. ... Movement along those faults can cause earthquakes too. Also, Earthquakes happen when rock below the Earth's surface move. Causing the Earth's surface to crack the closer you are to the plate boundaries the more pressure you get do too more force which is an earthquake.

After doing a lot of research and looking at the graph above, I did this on paper and have got the answer for you. However, since I can't draw iny our book myself, I am going to explain where you can draw a line to show the changing length of daylight over the course of one year that occurs for an observer at 50° S latitude. 

You will need to have a line that extends from the beginning of January to the end of December. the line needs to be marked anywhere from the graph line 16 that goes downward to line 12, 8, then curves upward towards line 12 and ends at line 16 on the other side of the graph. If you need more help or don't understand, I can try to get you a picture uploaded. It isn't letting me at this time for some reason, I keep getting an error.

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

The correct answer is E. A fault is best described as fractured rock that has been displaced.

Explanation:

Transforming faults are lithospheric plate limits where there is neither subduction nor creation of lithosphere. They are located on the edge of tectonic plates and cut the ridges perpendicularly. The borders near this type of fault are geologically active (earthquakes, volcanoes, etc.).

The most famous transforming fault is that of San Andreas. It is in fact a set of transforming faults which ensures the sliding of the Pacific plate against the North American plate.
