Strike-Slip Faults The movement along a strike-slip fault is approximately parallel to the strike of the fault, meaning the rocks move past each other horizontally. The San Andreas is a strike-slip fault that has displaced rocks hundreds of miles. As a result of horizontal movement along the fault, rocks of vastly different age and composition have been placed side by side.
Cobalt is a component of vitamin B12. Cobalt is used by your body to help absorb and use vitamin B12. Cobalt chemically bonds to B12 in your body, so the two work close together to maintain your health.
Cobalt (0.16â1.0 mg cobalt/kg of body weight) has also been used as a treatment for anemia (less than normal number of red blood cells), including in pregnant women, because it causes red blood cells to be produced.Cobalt also increases red blood cell production in healthy people, but only at very high exposure levels.t is produced by bombarding natural cobalt, 59 Co, with neutrons in a nuclear reactor. 60 Co decays by giving off a beta ray (or electron), and is changed into a stable nuclide of nickel (atomic number 28). The half-life of 60 Co is 5.27 years.
