During an earthquake stress is released and one side will move under the other (subluxation). This phenomena results in reduced distance between surfaces on opposite sides of the colliding plates.

What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?

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.


Is an earthquakes a convergent or transform?

An earthquake can occur at divergent, convergent, or transform plate boundaries. However, transform boundaries are most commonly associated with earthquakes due to the intense stress caused by the plates sliding past each other.

What type of natural disaster happens at a transform boundary?

Earthquakes commonly occur at transform boundaries. These boundaries are where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, creating friction that eventually releases as seismic energy, causing earthquakes.


Which of the above boundaries are produce earthquakes?

Earthquakes primarily occur at tectonic plate boundaries, specifically at transform, convergent, and divergent boundaries. At convergent boundaries, plates collide, often leading to powerful earthquakes due to subduction. Transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other, can also generate significant seismic activity. Divergent boundaries typically produce less intense earthquakes as plates pull apart.


What features are found at transform boundaries?

At transform boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes due to the release of built-up stress along the boundary. Additionally, features such as strike-slip faults and transform faults are common at transform boundaries.
