Los Angeles and San Francisco are the two large American cities being moved closer together by tectonic plate movement. They are both located along the San Andreas Fault, where the Pacific Plate is sliding past the North American Plate. This movement results in a gradual lateral shift, bringing these cities closer over geological time. The ongoing tectonic activity can also lead to significant earthquakes in the region.

Are the molecules in your teeth closer together or farther apart than the molecules in your saliva?

The molecules in your teeth are closer together than the molecules in your saliva. This is because solids are generally denser than liquids, resulting in molecules being packed closely together in solids like teeth. Saliva, being a liquid, has molecules that are more spread out and have more freedom of movement.

How does high elevation impact cities?

High elevation can impact cities by causing lower oxygen levels, which can affect individuals with respiratory conditions. It can also lead to temperature variations, with cooler temperatures at higher elevations. Additionally, high elevation cities may experience more intense UV radiation due to being closer to the sun.


What happens to density when an object is frozen?

With the exception of water, the particles of an object move closer together and become a solid. Being closer together makes the density rise once it becomes frozen but the density won't rise if the temperature is lowered and the object is already frozen. When water freezes, the density lowers, making ice float.
