Answer:
Option C
80 years
Explanation:
From Scientific records, the rate of movement of the plate is 0.025 meters
Since the fault moves at the rate of 2 meters per year, to obtain the number of years it will takes to produce an earth quake, we will have to divide the rate of movement of the fault by the rate of movement of the plate.
Number of years for earthquake = [tex]\frac{2}{0.025}[/tex]= 80 years.
Hence, it will take 80 years to produce one big earthquake.
