A slip-strike fault is one where the two areas move sideways with regard to one another. A normal fault is where one area drops down, and a reverse fault is one where an area is thrust upwards.

What is the type of fault that caused the 2004 earthquake in northern sumatra indonisia?
—Strike-Slip Fault =>the two plates slide past one another in opposite directions
Which plate boundary has the least volcanoes?
Volcanoes are least likely to be as frequent on a transform fault. A transform fault is a type of fault in which two tectonic plates slide past one another.
What is a mixture where the substance cannot be easily distinguished from one another?
It is a solution.
One isotope for a particular element is distinguished from another by the number of?
The number of their neutrons.
What type of boundary does not include a subduction zone?
A couple different types... A strike-slip fault (either right lateral or left lateral) like the San Andreas fault in California. This type of fault moves horizontally. A divergent zone is where two plates are moving away from one another, like the mid Atlantic ridge.
What type of fault is san adreas fault?
Transforming- The plates rub each other as they push one another.
How is one type of wave distinguished from another?
Wave is a propagation of substance's or field disturbances. If disturbances are small, waves are linear. Simply they distinguished one from the other by their wavelength, frequency & geometrically - by wave front. There are cross-section (for example light - electromagnetic wave) and longitudinal (f.e. sound) waves, which distinguished by directions of substance or field oscillation via wave propagation...Generally, one type of wave distinguished from another by their by their physical behavior.
When one piece of land is pushed over another what type of fault is it?
It is called subduction.
Explain how tectonic forces created the San Andreas fault zone What type of fault is typical of this fault zone?
The San Andreas fault zone is located at a transform boundary, where two plates are grinding past one another horizontally. As the rocks grind past one another, shear stress causes rock to break into a series of blocks. The blocks form a series of strike-slip faults—the typical fault type along the San Andreas fault.
During earthquakes which type of fault results when one plate is compressed up onto another plate?
REVERSE
