Compressional stresses occur at convergent plate boundaries.
What else can I help you with?
What kind of stressors on the rock cause faults?
The stress that causes strike-slip faults is produced by a shearing force and so is called shear stress.
What kind of force occurs in San Andreas fault?
transform boundary
What kind of boundary occurs on the western coast of south America?
a mountainous one.
What kind of plate boundary occurs where two plates grind past each without destroying or producing lithosphere?
transform fault boundary
What kind of boundary is mid ocean boundary?
Its a divergent boundary
When two sections of earths crust collide what kind of boundary is this?
Destructive (Plate) Boundary.Under converging convection currents in the asthenosphere, two plates converge.This is called slab pull.The denser plate sinks, then subducts into the asthenosphere and melt into magma.
What kind of plate occurs where two plates grind past each other without destroying or producing lithosphere?
transform fault boundary
What kind of plate boundary occurs where two plates grind past each other without destroying the lithosphere?
The type of plate boundary where two plates grind past each other without destroying the lithosphere is called a transform boundary. At these boundaries, the plates slide laterally against one another, leading to friction and stress that can result in earthquakes. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California. Unlike convergent or divergent boundaries, transform boundaries do not create or consume crust.
What kind of boundary occurs between the Indian-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate?
The boundary between the Indian-Australian Plate and the Eurasian Plate is primarily a convergent boundary. This type of boundary is characterized by the collision of the two plates, which has resulted in significant geological activity, including the uplift of the Himalayas. The intense pressure and friction at this boundary can also lead to earthquakes.
What kind of metamorphism might take place at a divergent boundary?
When a divergent boundary occurs beneath oceanic lithosphere, the rising convection current below lifts the lithosphere producing a mid-ocean ridge!!!Hope i helped.
What kind of mass does Stormy Weather have?
Stormy weather often occurs along the boundary between air masses or in association with a low pressure system.
Andes Mountains are on what kind of boundary?
convergent boundary.
