7 earthquakes, one earthquake about every 20 years
What will happen in 10 million years?
In roughly 10 million years, the world will be much better with futuristic cities.
What might happen to the mediterranean sea in 100 million years from now?
it will disappear
How might a geologist use relative dating to determine when the fault occured?
The Law of Cross-Cutting Relationships would be used here. If a fault cuts across a rock unit, it is younger than that rock unit. If a fault cuts across a series of rocks, but suddenly stops at a rock unit, then that rock unit which the fault stops at is younger than the fault. So let's say the order of rocks (from top to bottom), is A B C D. If the fault cuts across B C and D, but not A, then the age of the fault is sometime between A and B. If you know the absolute ages of A and B (let's say, rock A is 100 million years old and rock B is 200 million years old), then the age of the faulting is between 100 and 200 million years ago.
Did supernova explosions that occur in a star cluster happen during the first 100 million years in the life of the universe?
yes
When was the last time the San Andreas fault had a major earthquake?
About 30 million years ago when the pacific plate first hit the north American plate
What will happen to a part of California?
If you heard it will "fall into the sea", don't worry it won't. What will happen is the movement of the San Andreas fault will carry the land that Los Angeles is on northward until in a few million years it will be immediately west of the land that San Francisco is on. This movement north will continue past that too.
How deep is the San Andreas fault?
The San Andreas Fault marks the boundary between the Pacific and North American plates and would reflect the various lithospheric depths at points along it. Lithospheric depths are on average around 100 KM.
When could the next large earthquake occur on the san Andreas fault?
Around 30 years is what scientists predict
How often does Pangaea happen?
every million years every million years
How many earthquakes occurred because of san Andreas fault?
7 earthquakes, one earthquake about every 20 years
What will happen to Saturn in 100 million years?
In 100 million years, Saturn's rings will completely disappear.
Is California going to be underwater in 2015?
No the time-scales for that sort of displacement along the San Andreas fault are on the order of millions of years not decades.
What will happen in 10 million years?
In roughly 10 million years, the world will be much better with futuristic cities.
What may happen after fifteen million years?
you will not get lad
When did pangaea happen?
250 million years ago
How long will it be before San Francisco and Los Angeles are right next to each other due to the San Andreas Fault?
San Francisco and Los Angeles are not on opposite sides of the San Andreas Fault, and the fault runs right through both those cities.
