Plates slip past each other at the boundary. The San Andreas fault is a continental transform fault that runs along the spine of California from the Salton Sea in SoCal to Cape Mendocino in NorCal. It marks the tectonic plate boundary between the Pacific and North American plates which are constantly moving past each other. The fault type the San Andreas has is a strike-slip, which means the plates move past each other.

An unusually high tide is called a _______ tide.<br> a. major<br> c. neap<br> b. tall<br> d. spring
Simora [160]

The correct answer is - d. spring.

The unusually high tide is called spring tide.

This tide is higher than the average tide, and much higher than the tide in the period when it is the lowest.

The spring tide always appears after a new moon or a full moon, which is a clear indicator what influences it. The higher a tide is, the bigger the influence on the water bodies by the Moon's gravitational pull, and vice versa.This tide is actually the biggest difference between the high tide and the low tide.
