A divergent boundary causes what type of stress?
It causes tensional stress.
What forms from a transverse plate boundary?
A transverse range forms as a result of compression and thrust faulting. The faulting occurs where San Andreas Fault turns E-W.
What type of plate boundary causes mountains to rise?
Convergent Boundaries.
What type of faulting takes place at ocean ridges?
Divergent faulting. That is to say the two oceanic crust are moving apart from each other.
What kind of boundary causes the most damage?
a transform boundary
What is the most common type of deformation at transform plate boundary?
Strike-Slip Faulting
Rifting and normal faulting are characteristic of what type of plate boundary?
convergent boundaries
What type of plate boundry causes shearing?
The type of boundary that causes shearing is transform boundary.
A convergent boundary causes what stress type?
a convergent boundary causes compression
What causes faulting?
diastrophism
A divergent boundary causes what type of stress?
It causes tensional stress.
What type of fault caused the 8.8 Chile quake?
Thrust faulting at a convergent boundary where subduction is occurring. Please see the related question for more information.
What type of stress and what type of fault caused the Chilean earthquake?
Compressive stress which led to thrust faulting at a convergent boundary where subduction is occurring. Please see the related question for more information.
What forms from a transverse plate boundary?
A transverse range forms as a result of compression and thrust faulting. The faulting occurs where San Andreas Fault turns E-W.
When plate movement causes rocks to break it's called .?
At the region between the two plates, called a transform boundary, pent-up energy builds in the rock. A fault line, a break in the Earth's crust where blocks of crust are moving in different directions, will form. Most, though not all, earthquakes happen along transform boundary fault lines.
What type of plate of plate boundary causes mountains?
Convergent Boundaries.
What type of plate boundary causes mountains to rise?
Convergent Boundaries.
