What else can I help you with?
What type of plate boundary caused Mount St Helens?
Mount St. Helens is located along the Cascadia Subduction Zone, where the Juan de Fuca Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate. This subduction zone is a convergent plate boundary, resulting in the volcanic activity that built the mountain and led to its catastrophic eruption in 1980.
Where does an earthquake always occur?
Along a plate boundary or a fault line.
Where does transform plate boundary occur?
Along the San Andreas Fault line.
Which type of plate boundary is associated with the San Andreas Fault?
The San Andreas Fault is associated with a transform plate boundary. It marks the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, where they are sliding past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes along the fault line.
Where are volcano and earthquakes likely to occur?
Between plate or along fault lines.
Where does a strike slip fault occur on Earth's surface?
it occurs along a transform boundary
Are earthquakes most likely at the fault along the boundary between two plates?
Yes!
What do we call a crack or break along which rocks move?
A fault line, or plate boundary.
A reverse fault is formed by what type of tectonic plate boundary?
A reverse fault is typically formed at a convergent plate boundary where two tectonic plates are colliding. The movement along the fault results in one block of rock moving up and over the other block.
A fault generally occurs at a transform boundary?
A strike-slip fault generally occurs at a transform boundary
What section of the fault zone is located along the boundary between which two crustal plates?
The section of the fault zone typically located along the boundary between two crustal plates is known as a transform fault. An example is the San Andreas Fault, which marks the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. These boundaries are characterized by lateral movement of the plates past each other, leading to seismic activity.
What is a crack in the rock at a plate boundary called?
If there is movement of rock along this crack, then it is called a fault.
