Answer:

Answer: B

${ \rm{resultant = \sqrt{ {d _{1} }^{2} + {d _{2}}^{2} } }}$

d1 is 0.80 km
d2 is 1.20 km

${ \rm{resultant = \sqrt{ {(0.80)}^{2} + {(1.20)}^{2} } }} \\ = { \rm{ \sqrt{2.80} }} \\ { \boxed{ \mathfrak{ \: \: answer = { \rm{1.44 \: km}}}}}$

If the San Andreas Fault moves 200 cm (2 meters) per big earthquake, and plate movement is xx cm/yr (see question above), how ma

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

Option C

80 years

Explanation:

<em>From Scientific records, the rate of movement of the plate is 0.025 meters</em>

Since the fault moves at the rate of 2 meters per year, to obtain the number of years it will takes to produce an earth quake, we will have to divide the rate of movement of the fault by the rate of movement of the plate.

Number of years for earthquake = $\frac{2}{0.025}$ = 80 years.
