Answer:
C. shallow and occur in the upper 15 to 20 km of crust, even though the San Andreas fault cuts through the crust to deeper depths.
Explanation:
Earthquakes in California usually occur in the upper 15 to 20 km of crust. This is the case even though the San Andreas fault cuts through the crust to deeper depths. The San Andreas fault extends roughly 1,200 kilometers through California, and it forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American plate. It is believed that there is significant risk of a major earthquake (greater than 7.0) along this fault, particularly in the southern section of the fault, which is the region along Los Angeles.
Answer:
The K-T extinction event is the global mass extinction that has taken place about some 65 million years back due to the asteroidal impact. This mass extinction event has wiped almost 75% of the plants and animal species from the earth's surface. The dinosaurs were extinct and very animal species have survived and undergone evolution in due course of time.|
The Cenozoic era started after the K-T mass extinction event, i.e from about 65 million years to the present.
Thus, the Cenozoic era is also known as the age of mammals because mammal were more abundant and diverse then. Many flowering plants evolved during this time and the earth experienced global cooling.
Answer:
The trans-Amazon highway.
Explanation:
- The highway was launched on the September 27, 1972, is a 4000 km long highway that is the longest highway of the brazil state and this runs through the Amazon rainforest and the Brazilian stats of the Paraíba, the Ceará, the Piaui, Maranhão, the Tocantins, the Pará, and Amazonas, is named as the BR 230.
- <u>Ther highway was integrated into the region with the rest country like the Colombia a the Peru and the Ecuador and this affected the northeastern region of the country and a paved pathway of the </u><u>5200 </u><u>kilometers long. Construction of the highway is a challenge due to the remoteness of the site. And due to the project, many forests have been cut and destroyed. </u>
I would say this storm prediction center in Oklahama would maintain a constant vigil for the appearance of clouds which could form into a tornado as I believe that this part of the US midwest has historically had significant tornado damage.
