What kind of land is formed by the plate boundary?
The landforms that are formed at a transform boundary forms features such as fault lines and oceanic fracture zones. Fault lines are also known as strike slip faults. They produce powerful earthquakes.
When faults form which layer of the Earth do they form in?
Faults form in the lithosphere. This is composed of the crust and the solid rocky portion of the upper mantle. Both these parts of the crust are brittle. This means that they lose cohesion when they fail forming fractures or faults.
What are the movements produced by the three types of faults?
-Normal Faults form when the hanging wall moves down. -Reverse Faults form when the hanging wall moves up. -Strike-Slip Faults have walls that moce sideways, instead of up or down.
Does all motion along large faults occur in the form of destructive earthquakes?
No, all motion along the faults can also occur in the form of a tsunami
What type of landforms or activity can be found at a convergent boundary?
You could find mountains, valleys, faults, subduction zones, trenches, or experience volcanism or earthquakes.
What Types of landforms made by reverse faults?
Landforms created at reverse faults include mountain ranges and volcanoes. Reverse faults occur at convergent boundaries and the type of convergent boundary determines the landform created.
What group of minerals form along faults?
vein minerals form between faults.
What form faults?
a buddy
What are the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristic of each motion?
convergent plates produce thrust faults divergent plates form normal faults transform plates form strike/slip faults
What kind of land is formed by the plate boundary?

How do divergent faults form?
me no know

What causes faults to form?
Fault Lines usually form when too much presseris put onto it. They form onEarths surface The shift in tectonic plates causes the faults to form.
Which layer of the earth can have faults form?
the crust
Does all motion along large faults occur in the form of destructive earthquakes?
No, all motion along the faults can also occur in the form of a tsunami
How long does it take for a fault to form?
Faults can form virtually instantaneously.
