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).

Which of the following possibilities will form a triangle? (1 point)
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

Side = 10 cm, side = 5 cm, side = 6 cm

Explanation:

Triangle is made up of three line segment. Three line segment can form a triangle only when sum of two small line segment is more than the third line segment.

a. Side = 10 cm, side = 5 cm, side = 6 cm

5 cm + 6 cm  = 11 cm > 10cm

In the first option, the sum of two small sides is more than the third size, hence it will form a triangle.

Other options do not fulfil the same criteria, so they will not form a triangle.

Hence, the correct answer is "Side = 10 cm, side = 5 cm, side = 6 cm".
