Which of the plate boundaries can produce earthquakes?
Convergent boundaries.
Why doesn't the Mariana trench produce earthquakes?
You are misinformed, It DOES produce earthquakes.
What Earthquakes produce that travel though Earth?
Earthquakes produce seismic waves that travel through the Earth.
How many plates are in earth that causes quakes?
All of the earth's tectonic plates have the potential to shift and cause an earthquake. However most of the time they only have the potential and some are more likely to shift than others.
Why not all movement along faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the strain energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces. Some faults move easily and thus no strain energy builds up.
Which of the plate boundaries can produce earthquakes?
Convergent boundaries.
Which boundaries can produce earth quakes?
Earthquakes almost always occur at transform boundaries.
Which type of plate boundaries produce the most devastating earthquakes?
Convergent plate boundaries.
Why do most earthquakes occur near tectonic plate boundaries?
Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes
Why do Earthquakes most commonly occur near tectonic plate boundaries.?
Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes
What type of plate boundary is earthquakes locations?
All boundaries produce seismic activity, however convergent and transform boundaries have the most activity.
Do volcanic eruptions and earthquakes occur ONLY at the boundaries?
No. Volcanoes can be found at hot spots away from plate boundaries. These volcanoes can produce earthquakes. Earthquakes can also occur at areas of ancient geologic activty such as failed rifts and can occur as a result fo glacier retreating.
How faults produce earthquakes?
Faults DO NOT produce earthquakes, faults are produced by earthquakes. This means that earthquake loci are centered on and along faults. The energy released by an earthquake is the stress energy built up as a result of plate tectonic forces.
What can be produced at an ocean continental convergence?
Ocean-continental convergent boundaries can produce earthquakes and volcanic activity. As the ocean plates shift under each other they near their melting temperature and can form magma and solidify to form underwater mountain ranges.
What can be produced at an oceanic-continental convergence?
Ocean-continental convergent boundaries can produce earthquakes and volcanic activity. As the ocean plates shift under each other they near their melting temperature and can form magma and solidify to form underwater mountain ranges.
What do movement of earth's crust along the plate boundaries produce?
it produces earthquakes normally, depends how it shifts. sometimes it forms fold mountains
