What would you look for in trying to find fault if you had the following crosstalk failures?
culprits
Is the San Andreas Fault an enemy or friend?
Neither. It is a part of nature and therefore it simply is. Another way to look at it is this: If you have property on the west side of the fault, it would be your enemy if there is ever an earthquake capable of sliding half of California into the Pacific Ocean. If you have property on the east side of the fault, it would be your friend if the above happened, because your desert property would turn into beach front property.
What type of landforms have formed around the pacific and north American plates?
The San Andreas fault is a major one. This fault is very rare since usually trenches would form in the ocean but this formed actually on the coast of California. Source(s): Geography class!! + general knowledge BTW I know this may not be at all helpful but that;s what I understood that you wanted to know from reading this vaguely clear question.
Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?
Normal fault.
What is the characteristic of bacteria?
The characteristic of bacteria would be that they are unicellular!
What is the fault system that causes most of California's earthquakes?
That would be the San Andreas fault line.
What would happen if san Andreas fault broke?
people would die
Which side of the fault would be in the hanging fault San Andreas?
No side is consistently the hanging wall or the footwall for the San Andreas Fault. Some parts of it dip east while others dip west. Since the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault, which blocks form the hanging wall and footwall is not particularly important.
A fault is a break or rupture in the rocks on the earth's surface in California the San Andreas Fault is 600 miles long Why might it be dangerous to live on or near the San Andreas Fault?
it would be too dangerous to live there because the fault causes earthquakes.
What would happen if the san Andreas fault broke off the us?
If an earthquake so catastrophic forced the outer side of the San Andreas fault to "break off", a tsunami would fly across the pacific. Wiping out all continents in its path.
How are plates moving at a sliding boundary?
In plate tectonics, a sliding boundary is considered a transform fault where the two merging plates slide past each other in the opposite direction. A great example of a transform fault would be in California along the San Andreas fault line.
What is an adverb for geology?
An adverb form of the noun "geology" would be "geologically," as in, 'The San Andreas Fault is a geologically active region.'

Which of the following is characteristic of patters?
The question refers to the "following". In such circumstances would it be too much to expect that you make sure that there is something that is following?

Why is California's San Andreas Fault a strike-slip fault?
What you are referring to is a plate boundary. A plate boundary is an area where two tectonic plates are either moving away, moving towards, or moving along each other. San Andreas fault is a plate boundary because the fault is located over two tectonic plates that are moving along each other.
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.
