What are the 3 type of earthquakes?
(1)midocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.Normal fault, Reverse fault, and strike-slip fault
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
What type of plate boundaries do stratovolcanoes occur?
At constructive plate margins (where two plate slide away from each other) or a destructive plate boundary (where two plates slide together), volcanoes do not occur at a conservative plate margin. Hope this helps
What type of phenomena occur along fracture zones?
i have no idea why are you asking me
What type of plate margin was the Japanese earthquake?
it is on a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone
Subduction zones and what type of boundary do they represent?
Subduction zones represent convergent boundaries, where oceanic crust is being subducted under continental crust, or under a less dense oceanic crust.
What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
At what type of boundaries do subduction zones form?
In plate tectonics, when two tectonic plates move toward each other, it results in the formation of what is called a convergent plate boundary. The two plates are said to converge. One plate may be more dense than the other, and with the two plates pushing against each other, the plate that is more dense will "slide under" the other plate. The plate sliding under is said to subduct the other plate, and this creates what is called a subduction zone. Not all convergent plate boundaries have subduction zones, but all subduction zones are formed at convergent plate boundaries.
Which type of plate boundary is regional metamorphism associated?
The type of plate boundary that regional metamorphism is associated with convergent plate boundaries. A convergent boundary is also known as a destructive plate boundary due to subduction.
What type of boundary does subduction occur at?
It accurs with oceanic and continental boundaries
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonics plates?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates is a?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from collision between two tectonic plates is a?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What types of plate boundaries are associated with deep earthquakes?
All of them. For example: the earthquake of 2010 in Chile happened along a convergent fault while the 2010 earthquake in Haiti happened along a transform fault. Source: I am just a genius...
What type of plate movement causes tsunami's?
convergence plate boundary, where tectonic plates move towards each other and collide, leading to subduction zones which are highly constructive regions of volcanoes. Volcanoes also form at divergent plate boundaries. A good example being the numerous Icelandic volcanoes which have formed over he Mid Atlantic Ridge.
What type of plate boundary forms volcanic islands?
I thought the same which forms mountain ranges, 'constructive' plates.Volcanic Island arcs are found along subduction zones, wich occur at convergent boundaries.
What type of tectonic plate boundary is a strato-volcano on?
Most calderas are associated with subduction zones, a kind of convergent plate boundary. However, a few calderas, such as the ones at Yellowstone, are associated with hot spots rather than plate boundaries.
