What would happen to the earths continents if mountain were not being continuously formed?
If mountains weren't being formed there would be a lot more earthquakes. This would be due to the build up of pressure at the fault lines.
Why do earthquakes happen near fault lines?
because the tectonic plates are moving beneth the earths crust, colliding with each other. if someone live along one of these fault lines between the plates they would experience a large earthquake.
Which fault would be found on divergent boundary?
Normal fault.
How does the hanging wall in a normal fault move in relation to a reverse fault?
A normal fault is a fault in which the hanging wall has moved downward relative to the footwall.
Should a window air conditioner trip a 15 amp ground fault circuit breaker when the compressor cycles on?
You need to find the rating label on the unit. It would not be unusual for this to happen. I expect you need a 20 amp circuit.

What would happen if san Andreas fault broke?
people would die
Which city is in greater danger of being hit with a 9.0 magnitude earthquake San Francisco or Seattle?
Seattle is located very close to the Cascadia subduction zone, where earthquakes of magnitude 9.0 have occurred in the past. The San Andreas fault which bypasses San Francisco, is not capable of such an earthquake due to it being a transform fault, where the maximum magnitude would be about 7.8-8.0.
What happenes if the earth's crust moves suddenly along a fault?
A sudden shift of the earth's crust along a fault could result in an earthquake.
Why would people knowingly build on a fault line?
It's hard to say why people would knowingly build on a fault line. Usually it seems to be a case of people assuming that nothing bad will happen.
What happens when company vehicle hit your personal vehicle and they are at fault?
Could be a touchy subject if you happen to also work for the same company that owns the truck. they would probably be at fault, and they most likely have insurance for such an event. if they happen to not have insurance or refuse to pay, then i would start contacting small-claims lawyers.
What would happen if the san Andreas fault broke off the us?
If an earthquake so catastrophic forced the outer side of the San Andreas fault to "break off", a tsunami would fly across the pacific. Wiping out all continents in its path.
What would happen if the plasma membrane ruptures or break down?
Plasma Membrane is the outer covering of the cell that seperates its content from the surrounding medium. It is a selectively permeable membrane . If it rupture or breaks down the cytoplasm will come in direct contact with the surrounding medium and the act of selection will stop.
What caused the Chilean earthquake on the 2nd of march 2010?
This would have been an aftershock from the main earthquake that occurred on the 27th of February. The aftershocks occur because there are still stress concentrations in the crust around the fault even after the main quake and these concentrations of stress (and their resultant strain) can still cause fault ruptures leading to earthquakes. For more information on the major earthquake in Chile on the 27th of February, please see the related question.
What would happen to the earths continents if mountain were not being continuously formed?
If mountains weren't being formed there would be a lot more earthquakes. This would be due to the build up of pressure at the fault lines.
