What type of plate boundary caused the Chile earthquake in 1960?
transform boundary
At what type of boundary did the 1960 Chilean earthquake occur?
At a convergent boundary between oceanic and continental crust where subduction is occurring.
What type of wildlife would you find in Burma?
The largest earthquake recorded was in 1960 in Chile. It was a 9.5.
What type of boundary is found off the coast of Chile where the 8.8 earthquake occurred?
The boundary off the coast of Chile where the 8.8 earthquake occurred is a convergent boundary, specifically a subduction zone where the Nazca Plate is being pushed beneath the South American Plate. This type of boundary is associated with intense seismic activity and can result in powerful earthquakes.
What type of plates caused the Chile earthquake in 1960?
The Chile earthquake in 1960 was caused by the subduction of the Nazca Plate beneath the South American Plate along the Peru-Chile Trench. This subduction zone is known for generating large and powerful earthquakes due to the interaction between these two tectonic plates.
What type of fault was the Great Chilean Earthquake on?
The plate boundary the Chile earthquake occurred on in 2010 was the converging boundary. A converging boundary is when two plates move closer together. In this case the converging boundary moved so close together that the plates hut one another. They then subducted under on another and the earthquake was formed.
What type of stress caused the earthquake in Chile on the 27th of February 2010?
The earthquake in Chile on February 27, 2010 was caused by the release of stress along the boundary where the Nazca Plate subducts beneath the South American Plate. The sudden movement along this subduction zone generated the earthquake.
What type of boundary is present at the western edge of Chile?
The Andes Mountains are the eastern border of Chile.
What type of plate boundary was the Andreanof earthquake?
Convergent
What type of plate boundary does an earthquake occur at?
stomer
What type of earthquake hit Chile on the 27th of February 2010?
The Chilean earthquake had a magnitude of 8.8 and was a thrust fault earthquake that occurred at a convergent plate boundary where subduction of the Nazca plate under the South American plate is occurring. This type of thrust faulting at subduction zones is commonly referred to as a megathrust earthquake. Please see the related question for further information.
What type of margin did the Haiti earthquake occur at?
Transform boundary
