How are earthquakes formed at plate boundaries?
Earthquakes can occur at all types of plate boundaries, however the larger earthquakes tend to occur at transform and convergent boundaries. At these plate boundaries, one plate gets pushed under or into (convergent) or past (transform) the other. As this happens the two plates can become locked in place due to friction. This causes deformation of the rockmass around the boundary as the plates continue trying to move. As the stress builds up and the amount of deformation increases, the amount of energy stored in the rocks also increases (this is a lot like a compressed spring). Ultimately the stress will get so large it will exceed the frictional resistance and shear strength of the rock at the plate boundary causing a sudden movement. This allows all the energy to escape in one go in the form of seismic waves causing an earthquake.
Is Mt Etna on a convergent divergent or transform plate boundary?
Mount Etna Was Formed By Destructive Plate Boundaries. This Is When One Crust Is Forced Under Another Crust. It Stands At The Convergent Boundary Where The African Crust Is Being Sub Ducted Beneath The Eurasian Crust. This Causes The Latter To Deform And Forces the Magma Up Into Weak Spots In The Earths Crust (mount Etna) When There Has Become To Much Of A Magma Build Up In The Mantle.
What can transform igneous rock into sedimentary rock?
Igneous rock can become sedimentary if it is weathered into sediment and then lithified.
How are earthquake foci distribution relative to plate boundary?
Earthquakes are the planets way of relieving stress. Earthquakes can occur at all types of plate boundaries, however the larger earthquakes tend to occur at transform and convergent boundaries. At these plate boundaries, one plate gets pushed under or into (convergent) or past (transform) the other. As this happens the two plates can become locked in place due to friction. This causes deformation of the rockmass around the boundary as the plates continue trying to move. As the stress builds up and the amount of deformation increases, the amount of energy stored in the rocks also increases (this is a lot like a compressed spring). Ultimately the stress will get so large it will exceed the frictional resistance and shear strength of the rock at the plate boundary causing a sudden movement. This allows all the energy to escape in one go in the form of seismic waves causing an earthquake. As the majority of stress within the earth's lithosphere build up at plate boundaries this is also where the majority of earthquakes occur.
Why do major landslides occur near plate boundaries?
There are two reasons. First, the movement along plate boundaries and the accompanying folding and faulting can create hills and mountains. If the slopes become too steep they are unstable and prone to landslides. Second, movement along plate boundaries also generates earthquakes, which can trigger landslides.
What happens to a comet as it moves away from the sun?
It would turn into pie, transform into a bannana, then melt,become a video game,then run out of battery and then boom
How do you get unstuck in goldenglow estate in Skyrim?
Getting your character lodged into places is an unfortunate occurrence in Bethesda games and the only way to become unstuck is to reload. Luckily, Skyrim offers about three autosaves, all very current, that you can use to load from.

How does your dog in mabinogi become paladin?
When you transform as a Paladin with your dog summoned they automatically transform with you. But only certain types of dogs can transform. Look on the premium shop on the Nexon main site to see which ones transform on the description.
What are the effects of fault movement?
Depends on what kind of boundary it is. In convergent boundaries, trenches and volcanoes can form where oceanic crust hits continental crust. Mountains form when two continental plates collide. In transform boundaries, earthquakes occur as the plates slide past each other and release tension. Earthquakes underwater can cause tsunamis. In divergent boundaries, faults can become more noticeable. Rifts are formed. Magma can rise from them and fill gaps, creating volcanic islands if underwater. Mid-ocean ridges in these boundaries. Signs of fault movement are all over the place.

Is it possible to become a werewolf why or why not?
No. Simply put, it is biologically impossible to transform into a different species.
Why does ichigo transform?
to become stronger of course!! (to protect his loved ones) I <3 Ichi

Can you become a wolf in real life?
This is not humanly possible for a human to transform into a wolf
Explain the features at a constructive boundary and why they form?
Constructive plate boundaries are those which are most commonly found between two oceanic plates. These locations include the South American Plate and the African plate, Indo-Australian Plate and Antarctic Plate and between the Nazca and Pacific Plate. the worlds longest constructive boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. These boundaries can be defined as boundaries which create new crustal material. The plates involved in this kind of boundary are diverging, or moving apart, which is the reason the boundaries are sometimes called 'divergent boundaries'. These plates cause some small-scale localised earthquakes. They also cause underwater volcanoes, where the magma rises from the mantle and cools quickly to form solidified igneous rock. Over time this rock builds up to create a chain of volcanoes, some of which become so large that they become volcanic islands such as ones found around Iceland. also associated with this type of boundary are smaller, transform boundaries running at right angles from the main fault.
