True or false the san Andreas fault is a single continuous fault line that is more than 1300 km longand in some spots is as much as 16 km deep?

True. The San Andreas Fault is a major transform fault line in California that extends over 1300 km. It is a complex system of faults rather than a single continuous line, with some segments reaching depths of up to 16 km.


Is this true or false The movement of the North America plate and the Nasca plate produced California's major geological features?

True. The movement of the North American plate and the Pacific plate, which includes the Nasca plate, is responsible for the major geological features in California. This movement has created the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform boundary between these two plates and has led to earthquakes and the formation of mountain ranges in California.


True or false Mountains that begin when molten material reaches Earth and surface through a weak area of crust are fault-blocked mountains?

False. Mountains that begin when molten material reaches Earth's surface and then cools and solidifies are known as volcanic mountains. Fault-blocked mountains are formed when tectonic forces cause the Earth's crust to be uplifted and tilted along faults.


How true or false A northerly wind comes from the south and moves toward the north?

False. A northerly wind comes from the north and moves towards the south.

Is California has overridden part of a sea floor spreading zone?

Yes, the San Andreas Fault in California is an example of a transform boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement causes earthquakes and has resulted in the offset of the sea floor spreading zone in the region.

What is the result of True AND False OR True?

True AND False OR True evaluates to True. IT seems like it does not matter which is evaluated first as: (True AND False) OR True = False OR True = True True AND (False OR True) = True AND True = True But, it does matter as with False AND False OR True: (False AND False) OR True = False OR True = True False AND (False OR True) = False AND True = False and True OR False AND False: (True OR False) AND False = True AND False = False True OR (False AND False) = True OR False = True Evaluated left to right gives a different answer if the operators are reversed (as can be seen above), so AND and OR need an order of evaluation. AND can be replaced by multiply, OR by add, and BODMAS says multiply is evaluated before add; thus AND should be evaluated before OR - the C programming language follows this convention. This makes the original question: True AND False OR True = (True AND False) OR True = False OR True = True


Is the san andreas fault a volcano or a transform fault?

San Andreas, California is actually a bit EAST of Stockton, California. By accessing the "Fault Map" link provided below, you can readily see that the fault zone is actually WEST of San Francisco at that latitude. By accessing the "Field Guide" link, you can see a VERY GOOD photo of the fault, shot from the air. Go a little further on that link to see some VERY IMPRESSIVE photos of California's biggest fault. (800+ miles in length!)
