Answer:

The fault lines pull away from eachother and it breaks up into blocks r chunks which are either forced upwards or downwards. As hey move apart these chunks or blocks end up being stacked ontop of one another causing a fault block mountain as the fault lines have been blocked up. An example of a faultblock mountain are the Sierra nevada mountains in North America.

If the USA did not get CA - What might have been our western boundary?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

I dont know to much about Cali but here is what I know.

Explanation:

Will California eventually fall into the ocean?

No, California is not going to fall into the ocean. California is firmly planted on the top of the earth’s crust in a location where it spans two tectonic plates. The San Andreas Fault System, which crosses California from the Salton Sea in the south to Cape Mendocino in the north, is the boundary between the Pacific Plate (that includes the Pacific Ocean) and North American Plate (that includes North America). These two plates are moving horizontally, slowly sliding past one another. The Pacific Plate is moving northwest with respect to the North American Plate at approximately 46 millimeters per year (the rate your fingernails grow). The strike-slip earthquakes on the San Andreas Fault are a result of this plate motion. There is nowhere for California to fall, however, Los Angeles and San Francisco will one day be adjacent to one another!
