What is a fault bountary?
The place where two tectonic plates meet. The place where almost all earthquakes occur.
Most of the geological activity at the surface of earth takes place at boundaries between?
tectonic plates
Where are the earthquakes most likely to take place?
Earth quakes tend to take place where the edges of tectonic plates meet. There is no one specific place where earth quakes happen, but California does have a lot of earthquakes. Earth quakes are caused by two plate sliding over each other, colliding into each other or pulling away from each other.
What is the meaning of subducation zone?
A subduction zone is an area on Earth where two tectonic plates move towards one another and subduction occurs. Subduction is the process that takes place at convergent boundaries by which one tectonic plate moves under another tectonic plate, sinking into the Earth's crust, as the plates converge
What is the place where two plates come together called?
Tectonic plates are separated by "faults," places where the structure of the Earth is cracked. Most earthquakes occur along fault lines.
When to tectonic plates push into each other the place the to plates meet is called what boundary?
Fault lines
When two tectonic plates push into each other the place the two plates meet is what?
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
How earthquake take place?
An earthquake takes place, because there are tectonic plates which sometimes crash into each other, some places are more affected then others because some places are closer to the tectonic plates then others.
The place where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally?
transform boundary
What is a subducation zone?
A subduction zone is a place that occurs between two tectonic plates. It is the site where these tectonic plates have collided.
What is the Theory earth divided into moving plates?
The place where tectonic plates touch
The place where tectonic plates touch is known as the what?
It is called plate boundarys :P
Where do many earthquakes happen in a country?
it happens when the tectonic plates under the earth collide or push into each other to cause disruption so an earthquake would happen in a place were there is the edge of 2 tectonic plates underneath.
Where do plates come together?
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
Where would an earthquake take place?
Where the different tectonic plates meet
The place where two tectonic plates push into another?
convergent boundary
