Earthquakes happen when a rock face along the fault line gives way or grinds against the other side. These are not boundaries such as convergent or divergen boundaries but are generally known as transform faults or just faults.
Convergent plate boundary, (Pacific ring of fire). Divergent plate boundary, (Mid-Atlantic ridge). Transform/Conservative plate boundary, (San-Andreas fault).
Divergent- The place where2 plates move apart.
Convergent- The place where 2 plates come together.
Transform- The place where 2 plates slip past each other.
Earthquakes occur mostly at transform boundaries, where the two plates slide across each other.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
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.
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
they are formed along the crustal movements of the earth.
Earthquakes form at a Transform boundary when the plate slips past each other.
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Earthquakes occur at all three types of plate boundary.
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
they occur at transform boundaries
All three type of Earthquakes (Shallow-seated, Medium-seated and Deep-seated) occur only at the Convergent plate boundary. At divergent plate boundary we find mostly Shallow-seated Earthquakes only.
earthquakes occur where there are transformed boundaries.
Earthquakes can occur anywhere on Earth but large ones are more common at destructive plate bookbinderies.
According to scientific studies, the least dangerous plate boundary is the divergent boundary. Only moderate earthquakes occur in this type of boundary compared to convergent and transform plate boundaries.
Earthquakes and volcanoes occur mostly near the convergent plate boundary.
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
on the tectonic plate margins.
All of the earth's tectonic plates have the potential to shift and cause an earthquake. However most of the time they only have the potential and some are more likely to shift than others.
