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.
When it was recognized that cobalt was 4.4% of the molecular weight of vitamin B12 and that rumen bacteria could efficiently synthesize B12, these differences started to make sense. Cobalt deficiency in ruminants leads to a vitamin B12 deficiency that is corrected with cobalt supplementation.
