Earthquakes typically occur on a any fault because the most common earthquake is the tectonic earthquake and it occurs on all the faults, though usually has the most effect on strike-slip faults (like the San Andreas fault).

What happens when two tectonic plates rub together?
they form mountains, volcanoes, earthquakes.
What type of weathering occurs to form mountains?
not weather but sometimes earthquakes and when the Earth's "plates" move
If earths plate are always moving why are there no earthquakes all the time?
There are earthquakes all the time. However, they are so weak we do not feel them. Also, the tectonic plates move all the time, but there is only an earthquake when the plates 'crash' into one another.
What can transform boundary form?
i trying to figure that out
What are the major forces that form folded mountains?
I think earthquakes and shifting plates (plate tech tonic theory) :)
Do most earthquakes form in the us?
No, earthquakes form all around the world. They form on the edges of the tectonic plates
What is the relationship between volcanoes and Earth's moving plates?
When the plates collide they form volcanoes and earthquakes.
Where is a earthquakes?
Earthquakes usually occur around faultlines or plate boundaries because that's where plates split apart a long time ago. When two plates collide they form earthquakes.
Where do earthquakes form and where they are find?
Anywhere there are tectonic plates, and when two tectonic plates hit each other
When tectonic plates shift and energy is released what happens?
earthquakes form
What does transform plates form?
A transformational plate boundary forms earthquakes.
What are the types of faults that lead to earthquakes?
it is the movement of plates between the surface of the earth!:0)
Where does earthquakes form?
An earthquake forms by two plates colliding in any sea nearest to the country. Earthquakes form anywhere, where there is a big sea/ocean.
What three things happen to plates at the boundaries?
earthquakes,volcanoes,and mountains form
What does transform plates boundary form?
A transformational plate boundary forms earthquakes.
Why are volcanoes usually found on edges of tectonic plates?
because they form from earthquakes
Is seismology the study of tornadoes?
no. It is the study of the tectonic plates and the earthquakes that form. It studies the seismic activities of these plates. Thus seismology.
