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).

The headlines below were taken from newspapers following natural disasters.
Elan Coil [88]
I believe the answer is C. This is because all three headlines include information about transportation systems (first one with air delays, second with road closures and third with roads being reopened) being effected by natural disasters.

Here are why the other ones are incorrect:

A. In headline 2 with Arizona, it states how wildfires caused road closures around the state and not the area of the wildfire (headline 1 also disproves this answer, since it says “Worst delays since 9/11”, meaning it effected a lot more than the nearby area).

B. None of these are predicting natural disasters occurred, as seen by some of the language: “Arizona Fires FORCE road closures” (present tense, not past).

D. These do not mention anything about railroads being immune, so it can’t be it.


Hope this helps!
