Answer:

The mountains at Pinnacles National Monument  and the mountains at Tejon Pass became separated from each other after suffering a transforming process, in which plates slid laterally against each other along the fault.

Explanation:

The tectonic plates theory is based on the continual movements of the crust and might explain the movement of the different plates, and their directions and interactions.

Plates are limited by three different ridges or borders that differ in the type of movement they produce.

  • Divergent limits: two plates get separated.
  • Convergent limits: These movements occur when two plates collide.
  • Transforming limits refer to geological structures related to the seafloor expansion and associated in general with the oceanic ridge, although they might also occur in the continental plate. These limits are known as geological faults, where no rocky material is either destroyed or formed. When the plates move and produce a displacement of one transforming limits from side to side, earthquakes occur. The movement breaks the crust and originates pronounced fractures. The San Andrés fault is an example of these plate ridges.

A subduction process first originated all the mountains. This process took a lot of time and it in different stages. But once it concluded, a new process followed the first one. <u>The transforming process,</u> which occurred when the Pacific plate collided against the occidental ridge of the North American plate until it broke along the tension line. This process involves a movement of plates in which they slide laterally against the others along a line known as a fault.

As you can see on the map, the Pinnacles National Monument and the mountains at Tejon Pass are placed on opposite sides of the fault line. At first, they were together, and then by the transforming process, the plates moved along the fault separating them.

The goal of the world resource simulation center is best described as _______. a. solving current problems regarding world resou
natulia [17]

The correct answer is (c) determining how to manage global resources for all humanity

The goal of the world resource simulation center is a very large platform to manage global resources in the form that it serves to all humanity. The team there compiles the inventory of resources, analyses and assess the resources  to solve the current problem as well as anticipated problem. They take help of the emerging technology to solve the problems more precisely. The technology there helps to examine the in-depth problems associated with resources.

Compared to neurotransmitters, hormone effects are generally________.
Drupady [299]

Answer:

a. more widespread in the body and affect distant targets.

Explanation:

Hormones are released into the blood by the dustless endocrine glands and the circulating blood delivers hormones to cells throughout the body. Therefore, hormones affect the distantly located cells throughout the body. For instance, growth hormone released by pituitary gland affects soft and hard tissues throughout the body.  

On the other hand, the nervous system release neurotransmitters that affect the postsynaptic neuron or the muscle or gland cells present close to the site of their release. Target cells of neurotransmitters are more limited and include muscle (smooth, cardiac, and skeletal) cells, gland cells, and other neurons only.

What kind of currents bring warm air to land?
Zinaida [17]

Answer: A warm current is just the reverse. A warm current is moving away from the Equator toward the poles. The water in a warm current is warmer than the surrounding water.

Explanation: The surface water temperature varies considerably between the Equator and the poles. As the ocean water is distributed across the Earth's surface by drifts and currents (see the infrared satellite photo of the warm Gulf Stream moving north along the east coast of Florida), warm water from the lower latitudes is moved into the higher latitudes and cold water is moved Equatorward. If you will remember, we noted in the section on Latitude that this redistribution of heat by ocean water is one of the major ways excess energy is moved poleward (and cold water is moved Equatorward).

I hope this helps, good luck
