Geography
1 answer:
zalisa [80]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

It is classified as a right lateral (dextral) strike-slip fault. Although both plates are moving in a north westerly direction, the Pacific Plate is moving faster than the North American Plate, so the relative movement of the North American Plate is to the south east.

Explanation:

The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 kilometers (750 mi) through California. It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, and its motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal).

Why are there two different types of planets in the solar system?
kramer

The correct answer is D. The heat from the sun allowed only rocky planets to form in the inner part of the solar system.

Explanation

The inner solar system is the name of the region that includes the inner planets that are characterized by being terrestrial in type, have dense and rocky compositions, few or no moons, and there are no ring systems. Another of its characteristics is that Venus, Earth, and Mars have enough atmosphere to generate climate. On the other hand, the region of the outer planets includes the four most distant planets from the sun, located beyond the asteroid belt, that is, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune that are characterized by rotating at high speed, have gaseous surfaces, and rings around them (the most notable example is Saturn).
