A zone of shallow earthquakes along normal faults is typical of?
Divergent plate boundaries.
What is the edge of a tectonic plate?
Divergent boundaries - two plates Pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries - when two plates collide forming trenches or causing earthquakes. Tranform boundaries - two plates slide past each other
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
What are some similarities with convergent and divergent boundaries?
Some similarities between convergent and divergent boundaries are that both create faults that are capable of producing earthquakes; both are tectonic plates; and both are part of the lithosphere.
What plate boundary do earthquakes usually occur on?
earthquakes only happen at the edge of tectonic plates because of them moving which causes the 'quake' so there are never any BIG earthquakes in the UK because it is in the middle of a tectonic plate
What are produced at convergent and divergent boundaries?
Volcanoes and earthquakes
What does divergent plate boundaries cause?
they cause earthquakes
What cause divergent plate boundaries?
they cause earthquakes
What are features forms at divergent boundaries?
volcanoes and earthquakes
Where are shallow earthquakes found?
divergent plate boundaries
Where do shallow earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
Where do shallow-focus earthquakes occur?
At divergent and transform boundaries.
What kind of boundaries can cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
Most shallow focus earthquakes are found along?
Wherever divergent plate boundaries are
A zone of shallow earthquakes along normal faults is typical of?
Divergent plate boundaries.
What features form at divergent boundaries?
Trenches, mountains, islands, volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis
What is the similarities between convergent divergent and transform boundaries?
they both form volcanoes and earthquakes
