1 answer:

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).

Which measure did Los Angeles take as a result of severe droughts?

Lana71 [14]

The city of Los Angeles released 96 million "shade balls" into the Los Angeles Reservoir. These will serve to shield the water from the sun's heat in order to reduce evaporation and prevent algal and bacterial growth so no toxic substances are produced in the water. The balls reduce evaporation by 85%-90% so will save a lot of water yearly.
