Does all motion along large faults occur in the form of destructive earthquakes?
No, all motion along the faults can also occur in the form of a tsunami
Two types of faults can result in mountains which are they?
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are reverse faults and normal faults.
Why do reverse faults occur at deeper depths than the other two types of faults?
Because they form in areas of compression such as within the descending slabs of crust at subduction zones. These are in turn the deepest layers within the earth where brittle deformations such as reverse faulting can occur.
Where are most faults?
joining two segments of a mid-ocean ridge
How faults are made?
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
What place do the earthquakes most occur?
They usually occur in places where two plates meet- faults.
Where do the majority faults occur?
The majority of faults occur in the plate boundaries.
Where do majority of faults occurs?
The majority of faults occur in the plate boundaries.
Where do most faults occurs?
Most Faults Occur Where The Earths Crust Is Extended
Can earthquakes occur at faults?
yes, they can
What can occur at each of the three faults?
refuse
Do earthquakes mostly occur at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
False. Earthquakes mostly occur along faults that are at or very near to plate boundaries.
Does all motion along large faults occur in the form of destructive earthquakes?
No, all motion along the faults can also occur in the form of a tsunami
Does subduction occur at normal faults?
Normal faults are also known as dip-slip faults and usually occur at convergent zones. The reason they occur at convergent zones is because the blocks involved are displaced toward each other caused by compressional forces.

How do fault mountains occur?
Where two plates move away from each other tension forces create many normal faults.
