What else can I help you with?
Three types of faults?
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
Where are divergent boundaries found in the world?
I think you mean a divergent boundary. A divergent boundary is where two plates are moving away from each other. They are mostly found at oceanic spreading centers. The most well known one would be the Mid-Atlantic Ridge located in the center of the Atlantic Ocean.
Does Jupiter have tectonic plates?
Jupiter does not have tectonic plates like those found on Earth. Jupiter is a gas giant composed mostly of hydrogen and helium, with no solid surface for tectonic activity to occur. Tectonic plates are unique to rocky planets like Earth.
What type of fault is at a transform plate boundary?
Transform faults are strike-slip faults that occur at the boundary between two plates of the earth's crust and do not produce or destroy lithosphere. Divergent faults produce new sea floor, while convergent faults occur when two plates collide underneath and create underground mountains.
Which occurs at a transform boundary?
earthquakes occur where there are transformed boundaries.
What type of natural boundary divides continents?
A tectonic boundary, such as a mountain range or a deep ocean trench, can divide continents. These boundaries are formed by the movement of tectonic plates and can create physical barriers between landmasses.
A normal fault occurs mostly at a boundary?
divergent boundary
What is the climate for a volcano to happen?
It is not Climatic, as nearly as much as it is Regional. In the tectonic picture are to be found the most likely places to 'get provided with more than their fair share of Volcanoes'. These are mostly situated around the Tectonic Plates.
Is tectonic plates solid?
Yes. Tectonic plates are in fact mostly solid.
What tectonic plate is the US mostly on?
avalonia
Three types of faults?
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
Where does the earthquakes mostly happen in?
Earthquakes most commonly occur on the boundaries between tectonic plates, where continental plates (land) and oceanic plates (ocean) below the surface are running into each other or sliding past one another. A "fault" is a fracture or crack in the Earth that allows the movement of plates. In California there is a major plate boundary between the Pacific plate to the West and the North American plate to the East. The fault that marks that boundary is the San Andreas Fault, and that is where we get some of the biggest earth quakes in the United States.
Why do earthquakes mostly happen along tectonic plates boundaries?
Earthquakes mostly happen along tectonic plate boundaries because these are where the plates interact and their movements cause stress to build up in the Earth's crust. When this stress is released suddenly, it causes the ground to shake, resulting in an earthquake. These boundaries are also where faults are more likely to occur, further increasing the likelihood of earthquakes.
Where and when do earthquakes mostly occur?
They mostly occur when the tectonic plates in the earths systems rub against each other and they mostly occur in California.
What tectonic plate is th US mostly on?
The North American plate.
Where do volcanoes mostly form?
Volcanoes usually form where tectonic plates meet.
Where are most volcano form?
They are mostly formed along tectonic plate boundaries.
