1. List and describe the evidence for the theory of continental drift. How does this explain where the continents are located in the present day ? Is this process continuing to happen right now? What does this mean for the future of the continents (will Earth look different 300 million years from now)?
2. Southern California sits right on top of one of the longest faults called the San Andreas. What type of fault is this? What plate boundary is California on? How does this help to explain why there are so many earthquakes in California?
3. From Palm Springs to Colton, Fontana to Hesperia, Barstow to Tehachapi, the San Andreas fault can cause an earthquake that affects all of these areas. How do scientists study earthquakes? Why is it important that they study and monitor them?
