What else can I help you with?
What is happening to the plates along the san Andreas fault?
they are making earthquakes
What is the result of two plates of the the San Andreas fault in California?
The San Andreas Fault is a transform fault boundary where two tectonic plates, the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, meet. These plates are moving horizontally past each other. As a result, the motion along the fault can cause earthquakes due to the stress and friction as the plates grind against each other.
What is the name of the fault that marks the boundary between pacific and north American plates?
The name of the transform boundary that separates the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate is known as the San Andreas Fault. It is the site of many of the earthquakes that plague Southern California.
Which of earths faults has a shearing force?
Transform faults have a shearing force where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can result in earthquakes as the plates grind against one another. An example of a well-known transform fault is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Which of these is formed when plates of earths crust bend and crack?
a fault
What is the plate boundary of the san Andreas fault?
A transform boundary.
Why do earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault?
Earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault because of the tectonic plates. When the plates slip or shift, an earthquake happens.
What is the name for a break in the Earth's crust where tectonic plates slide?
A break in the earths crust is called 1.) deformation 2.) boundry 3.) rebound 4.) fault I'll give you a hint. "It was not my _______ !!" "I did not break the lamp!!"
What is the boundary between the north American and pacific plates?
San Andreas Fault.
Is San Andreas fault a reverse fault?
The San Andreas fault is a strike-slip fault, where two tectonic plates move horizontally past each other. It is not a reverse fault, where the hanging wall moves up relative to the footwall due to compression.
Where two of the earth's plates meet in California movement of these plates can cause and earthquake?
The San-Andreas fault line.
What fault line caused the 1906 San Francisco earthquake?
it was caused by the two plates in the earth that hit each other
