What else can I help you with?
Is a fault block mountain formed from a divergent or convergent boundray?
A fault block mountain is typically formed from a divergent boundary. As tectonic plates move apart, blocks of crust are uplifted along fault lines, creating fault block mountains. Examples include the Sierra Nevada in California.
What type of fault is formed when pates are pushed together?
A divergent boundary.
What kind of fault occurs at the divergent plate boundaries?
A normal
Is a new oceanic crust formed at a transform fault boundary?
No. New oceanic crust is formed at a divergent boundary. A convergent boundary neither creates nor destroys crust.
What type of boundary is formed when plate separate?
Divergent boundary is formed
Is a normal fault formed by extension compression or shearing?
A normal fault is formed by extension. This type of fault occurs when tectonic forces pull two blocks of the Earth's crust apart, causing one block to drop relative to the other. This extension is typically associated with divergent plate boundaries, where the crust is being stretched.
What type of fault is the great rift valley?
The Great Rift Valley is a divergent fault.
Why don't volcano's form along San Andres fault?
When volcanoes form, they are typically caused by a convergent or divergent motion. The San Andreas Fault was formed from a transform motion, or when the plates slide past each other.
What type of fault makes a rift valley?
A rift valley is formed by a divergent boundary fault, specifically a normal fault. This type of fault occurs when two tectonic plates move apart, creating tensional stress that leads to the pulling apart of the Earth's crust and the formation of a rift valley.
What boundary goes with a normal fault?
Divergent Boundaries
What type of boundary does normal fault?
divergent boundarys
Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?
A normal fault is typically found on a divergent boundary. This type of fault occurs as the Earth's crust is being pulled apart, causing one side to move downward relative to the other.
