The San Andreas Fault is a geological fault that runs about 800 miles (1,290 km) through California, passing through major cities such as San Francisco and Los Angeles.
It is a transform fault which is responsible for a large number of earthquakes and some small tsunamis. It separates the Pacific Plate from the North American Plate, which move in opposite directions causing stress to build up along the fault lines. Due to this movement across the San Andreas Fault System, the cities of Los Angeles and San Francisco will not become suburbs of each other ever. This is because the plate motions across the San Andreas Fault System are happening at a relatively slow rate. The two cities are moving towards each other at a rate of only about 1-2 inches (2.5-5 cm) per year which is far too slow for either city to become a suburb of the other.
It is estimated that it will take more than 50 million years for the two cities to become suburbs of each other (or to merge into one city). Therefore, the correct option is 50 million years.

volcanic soil
cinder cone
caldera
lava plateau
Answer:
C. Caldera
Explanation:
The landforms that result When erosion occurs as a result of volcanic eruptions, yet deposition does not play a direct role in the formation of the landform, is the caldera.
What is caldera?When a volcano starts and founders, it goes forth behind a large-mouthed depression known as a caldera.
During a volcanic eruption, magma from beneath the volcano's magma chamber is expelled, frequently violently.
When the magma chamber empties, the help supplied by the magma inside the chamber vanishes.
The resulting landforms are Calderas form when erosion occurs as a result of volcanic eruptions, but deposition plays no direct role in the formation of the landform.
Therefore, option C is correct.

what do we call the continuously moving part of the earth's crust?
Answer:
lithosphere
Explanation:
Tectonic shift is the movement of the plates that make up Earth's crust. The Earth is made up of roughly a dozen major plates and several minor plates. The Earth is in a constant state of change. Earth's crust, called the lithosphere, consists of 15 to 20 moving tectonic plates.
In the grid system used to map locations on Earth’s surface, lines parallel to the Equator are called-
A-latitudinal lines
B-geometric lines
C-barometric lines
D-longitudinal lines
Answer:
Hey!
Your answer is A-LATITUDINAL LINES
Explanation:
Latitudinal lines run parallel to the equator...in other words, they run along the "width" of the Earth (EAST TO WEST)
I HOPE THIS HELPED YOU!When governments are unstable, humanitarian problems often result. Describe some of these problems in a
paragraph of at least five sentences.
Answer:
Humanitarian problems like increased poverty, famine, and refuge crises, poor health care, and lack of clean water often occur. The increased poverty factor is often caused by the overall lack of money that the country has. Things like famine are caused by the initial poverty-stricken state of the country, and lack of land and water to produce food. As more people leave the country to escape the harsh living conditions of the country, refugee camps in nearby countries begin to overpopulate, and living conditions there worsen.

Two light-years is equal to _____.
O 6 million miles
O 6 trillion miles
O 12 million miles
O 12 trillion miles
Answer:
6 trillion miles
Explanation:
There are 6 trillion miles in a light-year (approximately), so the distance we need to go is 6 trillion miles / light-year times 4 light-years, or 24 trillion miles. So, this trip would take 1.2 billion hours. There are 24 hours a day and 365.25 days per year, so this time in years is 137 thousand years.

Determine the value of x, the exterior angle of the regular polygon.
Answer:
51.4°
Explanation:
The number of sides of the given polygon = 7
To find the sum of angles in this polygon, we use the expression below;
(N - 2) x 180;
N is the number of sides
So,
Sum of angles here = (7-2) x 180
= 5 x 180
= 900°
Each angle will be [tex]\frac{900}{7}[/tex] = 128.6°
Since angle x is on a straight line with one of the interior angles;
Angle on a straight line = 180°
128.6 + x = 180
x = 180 - 128.6 = 51.4°

Explain how different plate interactions produce different features at those boundaries.
Answer:
Plate interactions
Explanation:
When two plates collide and one goes under the other, trenches are formed like the trenches in the Pacific Ocean. These can also form volcanoes due to the melting of the plate as is goes under the other.
When two plates collide and neither give way to the other, mountains are formed like the Himalayas.
When two plates are pulling away from each other, they form ridges because of the molten magma that is dragged up with the plates. One ridge is found in the Atlantic Ocean.

Explanation:
Which type of plate movement is most often the cause of earthquakes?
A. collision
B. subduction
C. spreading
D. faulting
Answer:
Collision
Explanation:
Plate tectonic movements cause the majority of the earthquakes. The movements occur because the plates float on the hotter and denser rock of the mantle. Consequently, these plates are usually in constant movement – past or from each other within the earth’s crust.

B. do you convert solar energy into food
C. To provide food for secondary consumers
D. to compete with secondary consumers for oxygen
Answer:
The function of decomposers in a food web is to recycle nutrients into soil.
Explanation:
A is correct because the decomposers are able to digest the dead biomass, release nutrients from them in the soil, thus recycle the nutrients, and enrich the soil.
B is not correct because this is a function performed by the producers.
C is not correct because this is also a function that is performed by the producers, or by the primary consumers.
D is not correct because the decomposers do not compete for oxygen with the secondary consumers.
