Why is the west coast prone to earthquakes?
This is because the west coast has the San Andreas fault line running through it, which is part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, an area of intense seismic activity. This is where tectonic plates meet, and so are constantly moving, shifting or grinding against each other, which causes earthquakes.
What area along a fault where few earthquakes have happened recently but where strong earthquakes have happened before?
seismic gap
What does uncomformity mean?
An unconformity is a gap in time of the rock record. In a stratigraphic column this is evidence that erosion has removed a portion of the natural deposition of sediment in an area. In a disconformity erosion takes place between sedimentary rocks that have not been otherwise modified. In an angular unconformity, previous bedding has been tilted from its original deposition and undergone erosion, and is topped by new sediment that is deposited horizontally on top of this tipped surface. In a nonconformity, huge amounts of erosion have exposed igneous or metamorphic basement rock and there is an igneous or metamorphic rock contacting sedimentary rock.
