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 is a chemical element with symbol Co and atomic number 27. Like nickel, cobalt in the Earth's crust is found only in chemically combined form, save for small deposits found in alloys of natural meteoric iron. The free element, produced by reductive smelting, is a hard, lustrous, silver-gray metal.oday, some cobalt is produced specifically from various metallic-lustered ores, for example cobaltite (Co As S), but the main source of the element is as a by-product of copper and nickel mining. The copper belt in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Zambia yields most of the cobalt mined worldwide.
