Read the paragraphs and answer the question that follows.

Over the past 500 years, four large earthquakes have occurred near the same location along a continental-continental transform fault in North America. After scientists observed a nearby stream that crossed the fault, they concluded that the earthquakes had offset the stream by 60 yards from its original course. Thus, on average, each earthquake caused the crust along the fault to slip about 12 yards. The earthquakes caused a lot of damage, as well as dramatic changes to the local ecosystem. Another area in the fault also experienced a shift in location of 60 yards over 2,000 years. But it did so without suffering a violent earthquake. In this area, the crust along the fault slipped about an inch every year. The slip caused several rock formations and structures to develop cracks. However there was no large-scale disaster or disruption. Which two conclusions can be drawn based on this information?
A. Earthquakes do not strike the same region more than once in any given century.
B. Geological movements are often hazardous when they happen quickly.
C. Earthquakes happen only on continental transform boundaries.
D. Transform boundaries experience fewer earthquakes than other boundaries.
E. The movement of plate boundaries does not always cause disasters.

Respuesta :

Answer:

B.)  geological movements are often hazardous when they happen quickly.

E.)   the movement of plate boundaries does not always cause disasters

Explanation:

Geological movements are often the hazardous when they happen very quickly. The movements of plate boundaries does not always cause disasters. Thus the option B and E are correct.

What are the geologic movements ?

The geologic movement is those movements that are created within the earth due to the movements of the rocks or the plates. They refer to as tectonic waves or seismic waves and are released by the earthquakes that can be seen on the Richter scale. These waves lead the movements of the earth and are referred to as primary, secondary, and body waves, etc.
