B. To have an earthquake there must be a fault line (where two or more tectonic plates meet) so if San Fran. has earthquakes they’re on a fault line.

Answer:

B) San Francisco is close to an area where tectonic plates meet.

Explanation:

According to the question most earthquakes occur in areas close to where tectonic plates meet. The best option that can be concluded from the earthquakes occurring in Francisco is that San Francisco is close to an area where tectonic plates meet. The close proximity of San Francisco to where tectonic plates meets will likely cause earthquake in that region.

Generally, the earth is divided into different plates. These tectonic plates might be oceanic crust or continental crust. The plates are constantly moving. The plates might be moving away from each other(divergence) , colliding with each other(convergence) or moving past each other (transform).

The area where these plates meets are usually area of potential earthquakes. This boundary are area of minor or major earth quake. Usually , aesthenospheric material are introduce to the surface through this boundary.

A person measures his or her heart rate by counting the number of beats in 30s. If 40±1 beats are counted in 30.0±0.5s, what is
nordsb [41]

Answer:

Rate = 1.33 \pm 0.055 beats per second

Explanation:

Number of heart beats = 40 \pm 1

time taken = 30.0 \pm 0.5 s

now we have

N = 40 \pm 2.5%

t = 30.0 \pm 1.67%

now rate of heart beat is defined as number of heart beat per unit of time

so we have

Rate = \frac{N}{t}

Rate = \frac{40 \pm 2.5}{30 \pm 1.67}

so we have

Rate = 1.33 \pm (2.5 + 1.67 )

Rate = 1.33 \pm 4.17%

Rate = 1.33 \pm 0.055 beats per second

Which answer explains why plate B is moving underneath plate A
blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Earth is composed of different layers and one layer moves over another due to differences in the densities.

According to the physics of density, a substance having less density floats over a higher density substance. The oceanic crust has more density than the continental crust that is why continental crust float over oceanic crust.

So in the given example, plate B is moving below the plate A, it means plate B is more dense than plate A because plate B is composed of oceanic crust . <u>For example : continents float over the asthenosphere (a layer below the lithosphere).</u>

Hence, the correct answer is "A ".
