C) transform

Explanation:

The San Andreas fault is a transform fault margin as a result of the Pacific plate moving horizontally with the North American plate.

There  are different types of plate interactions.

  • At a convergent margin, plates comes together.
  • At a divergent margin, plates moves away from one another.
  • At a transform margin, plates moves past one another horizontally.

The San Andreas is one of those margins in which plates moves past one another horizontally. This is a typical transform margin resulting in series of earthquake activities on the surface.

The peripheral nervous system is involved in _____.
drek231 [11]

The peripheral nervous system is involved in both <u>voluntary and involuntary actions.</u>

Explanation:

The peripheral nervous system (PNS) is the neural system that resides outside the central nervous system (CNS). This contains nerves which in turn connect with the organs of the body like the sensory organs, glands, blood vessels, muscles etc with the central nervous system (CNS).

The PNS is divided into somatic and autonomic nervous systems.

The somatic nervous system contains sensory and motor nerve fibers which send sensory information and controls motor functions respectively. The voluntary movements of skin, skeletal muscles, bones, and joints are controlled by somatic PNS.

The autonomic nervous system composed of sympathetic, parasympathetic and enteric nervous systems controls the involuntary actions of smooth muscles of the internal visceral organs.
