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.
At which type(s) of plate boundary do earth earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes happen when a rock face along the fault line gives way or grinds against the other side. These are not boundaries such as convergent or divergen boundaries but are generally known as transform faults or just faults.
What happens along a fault beneath earth's surface during an earthquake?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What is a positive effect of an earthquake?
Earthquakes relieve the tension building between tectonic plates. so, loads of small earthquakes lessen the chance that a massive earthquake will happen along the same plate boundary.
Why do volcanoes and earthquakes happen along the Pacific Ring of Fire?
Two continental plates meet here plus a great number of faults
What events are most likely to occur along a transform boundary?
The answer is Earthquakes
What events are most likely to occur along transform boundary?
The answer is Earthquakes
Was the earthquake a transform boundary in japan?
No. it was along a convergent boundary.
Is Crust is neither nor destroyed along a transform boundary?
No crust is created when a transform boundary pulls away from each other.
Is Crust is neither created nor destroyed along a transform boundary?
No crust is created when a transform boundary pulls away from each other.
A possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary is?
earthquake .
Does sea floor spreading occurs along a transform boundary?
yes
What is the possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary?
Earthquake!
What causes earthquakes along a transform boundary?
A transform boundary is a fault zone with two plates that are horizontally sliding past each other. The sudden release of energy when the rocks fracture causes an earthquake.
Where does transform plate boundary occur?
Along the San Andreas Fault line.
Where does a strike slip fault occur on Earth's surface?
it occurs along a transform boundary
What type of plate boundary do most earthquakes occur near to or along?
they occur at transform boundaries
