What boundary is hot spot volcano?
Hot spot volcanoes are not associated with a plate boundaries. Hot spots can drive volcanic activity all by themselves.
Are earthquakes divergent convergent or transform?
Earthquakes occur at all three types of plate boundary.
What are three types of convergent boundaries?
Converging (destructive) plate boundary: where two plates collide. Diverging (constructive) plate boundary: where two plates move away from each other. Transform plate boundary: where two plates move, or grind, past each other. Like the boundary in California.
List three types of plate boundaries that exist at the edges of the plates?
There are three main types: Convergent boundaries (where two plates are being pushed together) Divergent boundaries (where two plates are being pulled apart) Transform boundaries (where two plates are sliding past each other).
Are the three types of faults normal faults backward faults and slip faults?
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
What type of plate boundary causes shear stresses?
Shearing stress is one of three kinds of stresses. Compressional and tensional are the others. Shearing stress is associated with transform. The other two kinds of plate boundaries are convergent and divergent.
Describe the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristic of each type of motion?
Describe the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristic of each type of motion.
What is the plate boundary?
The worst plate boundary is the north american plate with the recorded worst for earthquakes
Three types of faults?
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
What are the three sub types of convergent plate boundrys?
1. Oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundary. 2. Continental-continental convergent plate boundary. and 3. Oceanic-continental convergent plate boundary.
Give examples of where the three types of plate movements occur?
San Andreas Fault--transform plate boundary. Himalayan Mountain Range--convergent plate boundary. Mid-ocean ridge--divergent plate boundary.
Is the north American plate divergent transform or convergent?
A plate is not classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, a plate boundary i.e. a boundary between plates is. All three types of plate boundary can be found along the edges of the North American plate.
Convergent boundary three types are what?
Converging (destructive) plate boundary: where two plates collide. Diverging (constructive) plate boundary: where two plates move away from each other. Transform plate boundary: where two plates move, or grind, past each other. Like the boundary in California.
What are the 3 types of plate boundarys?
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
What are the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristic of each motion?
convergent plates produce thrust faults divergent plates form normal faults transform plates form strike/slip faults
What type of plate boundary are most earthquakes found at?
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.
What are three types of plate boundaries and how are they different?
Slip slide Reverse thrust Normal I think that's right. School sucks.The 3 types of tectonic plate boundaries are: constructive boundary, destructive boundary and conservative boundary.
