How many inactive volcanoes are their in the Philippines?
For now the current list of inactive volcanoes are 355
What is differentiate active and inactive faults?
Active faults can generate earthquakes and represent sources of seismic energy. Inactive faults can no longer generate earthquakes but did so in the past. +++ They can, but really the earthquake is the effect of the movement on the fault, so not the defining mechanism. ' An active fault is one still moving (albeit usually in small, irregular steps over millions of years); an inactive fault is stable. If a new phase of tectonic stresses arrive, an inactive fault can be 're-activated', in many cases with the movement in the opposite direction. A fault is a fracture with displacement, and that movement is of the rock on one side of the fault-plane across the other.
How is it known that earthquakes are the result of movement along faults?
Because after earthquakes, it is possible to see examples of displacement of the ground across faults.
What are active faults and inactive?
Most geologist consider a particular fault to be an active fault if it has moved during the past 10,000 years of the Holocene Epoch. An inactive fault is one that hasn't moved during the past 10,000 years of the Holocene Epoch.
What is the difference between Active and inactive faults?
An active fault is a fault that has displayed recent seismic activity, while an inactive fault has not displayed recent seismic activity.Do not be fooled by the word "recent," however, as we are talking about "recent" from a geological perspective, which is much different from a non-geologic perspective. Because of the fickle nature of plate tectonics, an active fault could have earthquakes as often as once every few years or once every one thousand years. Conversely, it's very hard to call a fault inactive if we don't know it's quake history, and for some faults, geologists will wait ten thousand years in between quakes to call them inactive.There are a variety of techniques that geologists can use to help them determine the frequency of earthquakes among faults, however. If a history of quakes coming from the fault are available, scientists can look at the average period of time in between quakes to determine whether a fault is presently "active" or "inactive." Scientists can also measure creep among fault lines to check for seismic activity.There really is no way to concretely define a fault as "active" or "inactive" (especially because inactive faults can suddenly become active again), but it's more or less safe to say that if a fault hasn't shown tectonic activity for about 5,600 years, it's probably inactive.++Just to add to that explanation, if movement occurs on long-quiescent fault in a new phase of tectonic activity, the fault is described as 're-activated', and the new movement can be the opposite to the original.
