Use your knowledge about fault zones, their scarps, how related erosion and deposition processes evolve over several earthquake
cycles, and seismic map patterns to identify the correct statements below. a. Fault scarps are surface expressions of fault planes that result from differential motion along them, causing an earthquake.
b. Seismic gaps are regions along tectonically active boundaries that are safer than other regions.
c. Earthquake-generating fault motion never leaves any evidence in the geologic record that can be used to address future seismic hazards.
d. Fault scarp creation, erosion, and associated sediment preservation in the geologic record is a key process used in paleoseismological investigations.
e. Paleoseismology helps geologists with the challenge of addressing societies trying to live with earthquake hazards around the globe.
The correct answer is Slovenia. Croatia and Bosnia gained independence later during the nineties after a series of wars, while Slovenia had it relatively easy and was the first.
Most of the part of the plate disappeared due to the early tectonics events
Explanation:
The pacific plate is the largest oceanic plate in the world and is 103 km square. The plate consists of Hawaiian islands and hot springs, the plate forms a convergent margin near the North American boundary.
The movement of the pacific plate is towards the northwest and has a sped / velocity of 52-102 mm per year. The oldest part of the plate disappeared away by the plate tectonic cycle in the early cretaceous period.
