The san andreas fault system is a continental transform fault that extends roughly 1,200 km through california it forms the tectonic boundary between the pacific plate and the north american plate how would you describe the geological process on how it was formed

It is a transform plate boundary resulting from two plates sliding past each other horizontally

How can you infer the difference between a guyot and a seamount

Guyot one point reached the surface and was eroded away by wind and waves but seamount kept its mountain like shape

Which resulted to the formation of new crust from magma that rises to the earth's surface between two plate boundaries

Divergent boundary

Which is associated with discovery of seafloor spreading

The crust of the oceans are very young relative to the age of the crust of the continents

Which types of rock would most likely formed from compaction and cementation of this sediment

Shale and coal

Radiometric dating is a technique used to determine the age of materials such as rocks what is being measured in radiometric dating

The amount of the parent isotope only

If you are a geologist how does the principle of faunal succession allow you to correlate rock strata in different geographic locations

It states that layers of rock strata at different locations can be correlated according to the unique set of fossils they contain

The age of earth is based on the radioactive isotope dating of meteorites how old is the earth based on its history

4.6 billion years old
