Which kind of boundary is seen in earthquakes that are normal faults?
Transform boundaries are seen in earthquakes that are caused by normal faults. Some types of faults are listric or ring faults.
How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
What is the relationship between the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes with regard to faults?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.
How are stress and faults related in earthquakes?
Stress and faults are both caused by tectonic plates.
Which kind of boundary is seen in earthquakes that are normal faults?
Transform boundaries are seen in earthquakes that are caused by normal faults. Some types of faults are listric or ring faults.
What are the 3 different types of rock movement in earthquakes?
Normal faults, reverse faults, and last but not least transform faults.
How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
What are earthquakes associated with?
Faults
What are faults caused by?
earthquakes
What are the actions of the faults?
Faults can create cracks in the earth and cause earthquakes.
Can earthquakes occur at faults?
yes, they can
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 is the relationship between the locations of volcanoes and earthquakes with regard to faults?
Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.
Do earthquakes spread the earth apart?
Not necessarily. Earthquakes occur when there is movement along cracks in the Earth's crust called faults. There are three main types of fault, all of which can produce earthquakes. Normal faults usually occur where the crust is being pulled apart. Reverse faults, also called thrust faults, are usually found where sections of the crust are pushed together. Transform faults occur where sections of the crust slide past each other horizontally, neither pushing together nor pulling apart.
What are 3 different types of earthquakes?
(1)mid ocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.
What types of plates do Earthquakes form on?
Earthquakes typically occur on a any fault because the most common earthquake is the tectonic earthquake and it occurs on all the faults, though usually has the most effect on strike-slip faults (like the San Andreas fault).
