The san andreas fault is a dextral (right-lateral) strike-slip fault that runs between los angeles and san francisco. this means that los angeles is slowly approaching san francisco. assuming the average slip rate of 2.1 cm/year remains constant, in about how many years will los angeles be directly west of san francisco? los angeles is presently 519 km from san francisco. choose the best answer below. hint: 1 cm = 0.00001 km.

We are going to use the fact that 1cm = 0.00001km to convert 2.1cm/year to 0.000021km/year. Now, since Time = Distance/Velocity, we replace the values from our problem to get:  Time = 519km/ (0.000021km/year) which is equal to 24714285.71 years. We conclude that Los Angles will be directly west to San Francisco in a little less than 25 million years.

in the united states today, there are numerous sources of law. the main ones are (1) constitutions—both state and federal, (2) statutes and agency regulations, and (3) judicial decisions. in addition, chief executives (the president and the various governors) can issue executive orders that have the effect of law.

in international legal systems, sources of law include treaties (agreements between states or countries) and what is known as customary international law (usually consisting of judicial decisions from national court systems where parties from two or more nations are in a dispute).

as you might expect, these laws sometimes conflict: a state law may conflict with a federal law, or a federal law might be contrary to an international obligation. one nation’s law may provide one substantive rule, while another nation’s law may provide a different, somewhat contrary rule to apply. not all laws, in other words, are created equal. to understand which laws have priority, it is essential to understand the relationships between the various kinds of law.

within these regions are all the major types of biomes in the world. a biome is a community of animals and plants spreading over an extensive area with a relatively uniform climate. some diverse biomes represented in north america include desert, grassland, tundra, and coral reefs.
