What type of faulting takes place at ocean ridges?
Divergent faulting. That is to say the two oceanic crust are moving apart from each other.
What type of boundary causes faulting?
Transform boundaries cause fault lines or faults.
What type of fault produces horst and graben topography?
Normal / extensional faulting creates horst and graben topography.
What are 5 factors that affect the intesity of an earthquake?
type of faulting depth frequency of shakin proximity of epicentre distance of earthquake focus magnitude
What type of stresses broke Earth's lithosphere into plates?
the circulation of convection cells in the mantle, which dragged against the lithosphere
What type of faulting takes place at ocean ridges?
Divergent faulting. That is to say the two oceanic crust are moving apart from each other.
What type of faulting characterizes mid-ocean ridges and why?
The type of faulting that characterizes mid-ocean ridges is a transform fault. This type of faulting occurs because transform fault ridges stay in the same fixed location, thus the new ocean sea floor being created at the ridges is pushed away from the ridge.
What type of faulting is common in the Basin and Range province?
Basin and Range faults
What is the most common type of deformation at transform plate boundary?
Strike-Slip Faulting
Rifting and normal faulting are characteristic of what type of plate boundary?
convergent boundaries
What type of boundary causes faulting?
Transform boundaries cause fault lines or faults.
What stresses produce points?
and what type of fault is created with each type of stress
What type of fault produces horst and graben topography?
Normal / extensional faulting creates horst and graben topography.
Which type of fault is the result of tension?
Normal faults are the result of tensile stresses.
Which type of epithelium is present where mechanical stresses are severe?
strartified squamous epithelium
What are 5 factors that affect the intesity of an earthquake?
type of faulting depth frequency of shakin proximity of epicentre distance of earthquake focus magnitude
What type of faulting is found where two slabs of continental lithosphere are converging?
That's what I'm trying to find out. Can somebody please answer it.! D:
