joining two segments of a mid-ocean ridge
The majority of faults occur in the plate boundaries.
There are many faults in the world, on is Great Rift Valley of Africa, another is in Michigan on Pen Island, and one in San Andreas California
They are located on the edge or boundary of a plate. It is the crack of two plates.
Along earth's plate boundries
most faults are in Californa

Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
Faults are created when tectonic plates are stretching or compressing. There are two types of faults which are normal and reverse faults.
The two types of faults that can result in mountains are reverse faults and normal faults.
Your faults are flaws in your personality. Earth's faults are cracks in the ground along which blocks of rock move.
Most Faults Occur Where The Earths Crust Is Extended
At transform faults or transform zones.
In most cases, the faults of a car are usually mechanical in nature.
These are the most dangerous faults because you will be dealing with very high fault levels. Phase to phase will have very little to limit the impedance of the fault current. And phase to ground faults can be high since most systems are solidly grounded. Arching faults and faults through an impedance will be lower and cause less electrical and mechanical stress on the system.
Oceanic-oceanic plate divergence, such as that occurring at the mid-ocean ridges.
Earthquakes and volcanoes are most common near the faults at plate boundaries.

Yes.
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
Because most plates boundaries are also faults
Most present-day faults occur along boundaries. The three types of geologic boundaries are transform boundaries, divergent boundaries and convergent boundaries.
247 faults or fault systems as of December 30, 2008.
