Many more earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault in California than in other parts of the United States. Scientists
claim that these earthquakes are caused by activity along a transform plate boundary
Which evidence would best support this claim?
O Subduction causes new crust to form.
O Subduction causes old crust to be destroyed.
O Plates slip past each other at the boundary.
O Plates collide with each other at the boundary

C. Plates slip past each other at the boundary

Explanation:

Just took the test

The correct answer is Plates slip past each other at the boundary. I just took this on Edge and got it correct. Glad I could help!

the answer is; comparing the frequency of collisions with and without the device

this makes the anti-collision system an independent variable and the collisions a dependent variable. if there are fewer collisions with an anti-collision system that without, then it can be stated that the system is a success. essentially, collisions under an anti-collision system are compared with the frequency of collisions by cars with the human drivers.

answer-

the statement that f(x) = |x+a| + b has exactly one x-intercept is sometimes correct.

solution-

it solely depends on b, whether the function will have one or two or zero x intercept.

this plot of the given function, f(x) = |x+a| + b will be the basic absolute value graph i.e v shape, with vertex translated to (-a, b), instead of origin.

1-   if b is zero, the graph will have exactly one x-intercept, at x= -a

2- if b is positive, the whole graph will be above the x-axis, hence it will have no x-intercepts.

3- if b is negative, the graph will be below the x-axis, hence it will have two x-intercepts.

∴ the statement is sometimes true.
