Select the statement that best provides an inference about seismic activity along the san andreas fault that is supported by the text. a the san andreas fault has existed for millions of years, but it did not cause an earthquake until 1906. b the san andreas fault is more than 800 miles long, but seismic activity only occurs in a very small section of the fault. c people cannot prevent seismic activity along the san andreas fault, but they can limit the damage caused by earthquakes. d by studying "seismic gaps," scientists know that the next earthquake to occur along the san andreas fault will happen in the san francisco bay area within the next decade.

The statement that best provides an inference about seismic activity along the San Andreas fault is D - By studying "seismic gaps," scientists know that the next earthquake to occur along the san Andreas fault will happen in the San Francisco Bay area with the next decade.

A Seismic Gap, is a segment of the fault where no earthquakes have taken place for a very long time. Due to the build up of stresses in the San Francisco Bay area, scientists have deduced that one is overdue, the last one being in 1906. Scientists have been successful in forecasting earthquakes by studying these gaps, deducing that there is a 100-150 year interval between large ones.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
