subduction
it happened on a blind fault (one where the fault line does not reach the surface)
the answer is an earthquake because the plates move so suddenly it makes the earth shake so therefore it would be called an earthquake!
Haiti earthquake happened because the Carribbean plate and the North American plate clashed. The Carribbean plate moves about 20mm eastwards each year and the North American moves much slower. That's why the plates crashed and an earthquake happened. oh yeah. You are very kind
The genre of the book Earthquake Terror is realistic fiction because this could happen in real life and is kind of fiction.
it is a normal fault.
the Hayward fault is a "transform" fault. :)
The kind of motion that causes an earthquake is called faulting, which occurs when there is sudden movement along a fault line in the Earth's crust. This movement releases stored energy in the form of seismic waves, leading to an earthquake.
The Meers Fault is classified as a strike-slip fault, which means it primarily accommodates horizontal movement. Located in Oklahoma, it is part of a larger system of faults associated with tectonic activity in the region. The fault is known for its potential to produce seismic activity, making it of interest to geologists studying earthquake risks in the area.
Generically a "fault" but there could also be an "earthquake" associated with this fracturing. A fault with where all the movement is horizontal is called a "transverse" fault. but it must be understood that there is a component of horizontal movement associated with Thrust, Reverse and Normal faults too.
When you lose a loved one, when you hurt someone or something will happen that can kill you. (e.g Tornado, Earthquake, etc.)
Earthquake waves are called seismic waves.
There was a big earthquake in 2010 in Haiti. The earthquake was 7.0
