解析 C。解析:加利福尼亚的圣安德烈亚斯断层是转换型(transform)板块边界的一个例子。A选项convergent是汇聚型板块边界;B选项divergent是背离型板块边界;D选项subduction是俯冲,属于汇聚型板块边界的一种特殊情况,都不符合圣安德烈亚斯断层的板块边界类型。反馈 收藏 ...
A. The San Andreas Fault in California B. The Mid - Atlantic Ridge C. The Himalayas D. The Mariana Trench 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 A。按照教学大纲,在板块构造中,加利福尼亚的圣安德烈亚斯断层是转换板块边界的一个例子。大西洋中脊是离散型板块边界,喜马拉雅山脉是汇聚型板块边界,马里亚纳海沟是...
A. Transform B. Divergent C. Convergent 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 A。解析:圣安德烈亚斯断层(The San Andreas Fault)是转换型板块边界的一个典型例子。在这个区域,太平洋板块和北美板块相互滑动。而不是板块相互分离的离散型边界,也不是板块相互挤压碰撞的汇聚型边界,所以这题选A。反馈...

During its long Mesozoic and early Tertiary subduction history, the continental margin of California acquired a complex petrologic and tectonic structure that was later overprinted by the tectonics of the San Andreas transform plate boundary zone and the related Coast Range tectonics. The Cascadia subdu...

The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault that runs a length of roughly 810 miles (1,300 km) through California in the United States. The fault’s motion is right-lateral strike-slip (horizontal motion). It forms the tectonic boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North Ame...
The San Andreas fault is astrike-slip fault, where the blocks move horizontally past one another. These movements cause offset fences and river bends on the surface. Strike-slip faults are undertransform boundary, meaning it is also the plate tectonic boundary type of the San Andreas fault. T...

Recent, wide-angle seismic observations that constrain the existence and structure of a mafic layer in the lower crust place strong constraints on the evolution of the San Andreas plate boundary system in northern and central California. Northward migration of the Mendocino Triple Junction and the ...
