Map 6 shows a coastline with a long, straight line on land labeled "fault trace." Earthquake dots form a narrow band that follows the fault trace for hundreds of kilometers. There is no continuous line of volcano triangles along the fault trace. Two arrows on opposite sides of the fault point in opposite directions, parallel to the fault line. This pattern reflects movement over time because plates move slowly and continuously. Which explanation fits the pattern shown?
