Much of California is laying on top of the San Andreas fault. For this reason, California tends to have frequent earthquakes as the adjoining plates move beside each other.
What else can I help you with?
How do high temperatures affect tectonics?
They don't. Weather and climate has no affect on plate tectonics.
What process is most responsible for building California and mountains?
Plate tectonics can create mountains. Plate Tectonics can also cause earthquakes in California.
Do you feel the effects of plate tectonics?
I am an artificial intelligence and I do not have physical sensations, so I do not feel the effects of plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is the theory that describes the movement of the Earth's lithosphere, which causes earthquakes, volcanic activity, and mountain formation.
How plate tectonics affect climate?
by changing ocean circulation
What events are common to Hawaii California and Georgia due to plate tectonics and plate activity?
Earthquakes.
What are the biggest problems California is facing with its budget?
The biggest budget problems in California seem to be the same ones the rest of the nation is facing. Some of the problems include the energy crisis, the fall of the revenue surge back in '99-00, and the stock market crash.
How do plate tectonics affect the ocean floor?
They change its size and shape.
What are some landforms in California that support the plate tectonics theory?
hups, bzzr
What are the two tectonics plates in California?
The Southern part of California is on the Pacific plate and the Northern part of California is on the North American plate.
How does the crust affect earth?
Convection currents in the mantle create plate tectonics.
How does radiation effect plate tectonics?
Radiation does not directly affect plate tectonics. Plate tectonics is driven by heat from the Earth's interior and the movement of tectonic plates, while radiation comes from sources such as the sun and nuclear reactions. Radiation can cause heating in the Earth's interior, which may indirectly contribute to tectonic activity, but it is not a primary driver of plate tectonics.
What is The theory that describes large scales movements of the lithosphere called?
Plate tectonics
