What is the result of two plates of the the San Andreas fault in California?
The San Andreas Fault is a transform fault boundary where two tectonic plates, the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, meet. These plates are moving horizontally past each other. As a result, the motion along the fault can cause earthquakes due to the stress and friction as the plates grind against each other.
Why are there more volcanoes and earthquakes in the ring of fire than any where else?
The ring of fire is the result of activity around the edges of the Pacific Plate, which moves faster than other other tectonic plates. As it pushes against other plates tension builds up and is released as earthquakes.
Why do a large number of earthquake happen on the ring of fire?
The "Ring of Fire" is located at the borders of the Pacific Plate and other major tectonic plates (huge pieces of the Earth's crust). As the Pacific Plate subducts (collides with and slides under other plates) with other nearby plates, the plates melt into magma and produces earthquakes and volcanoes. The Ring of Fire is responsible for about 90% of the world's earthquakes and 80% of the world's strongest earthquakes.
Where is the biggest visible tectonic plates?
The largest tectonic plate is the Pacific Plate, which covers the Pacific Ocean. It is visible in some locations where it interacts with other plates, such as along the western coast of North and South America.
