Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
Do earthquakes occur in plate interiors?
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Where do earthquakes occur the most - near plate boundaries or far away from plate boundaries?
Near plate boundaries. (Thank you teacher for explaining)
What plate boundaries are the most destructive?
Convergent plate boundaries, and in particular, oceanic plate to continental plate collisions, may pose the most risk because of the possibility of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
Which of the plate boundaries can produce earthquakes?
Convergent boundaries.
Why do most earthquakes occur near tectonic plate boundaries?
Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
Why do Earthquakes most commonly occur near tectonic plate boundaries.?
Tectonic plates move along, against, or away from eachother at their boundaries. These movements produce earthquakes
What is the connection between mountains and plate boundaries?
mountains are usually formed on plate boundaries because earthquakes happen at plate boundaries. earthquakes can form mountains.
Do earthquakes occur in plate interiors?
yes earthquakes happen at all types of plate boundaries but most of them occur at destructive, collisional, and conservative plate boundaries
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Do earthquakes often occur at at faults that are away from plate boundaries?
Yes, but not as often as earthquakes happen near plate boundaries
What type of plate boundary is earthquakes locations?
All boundaries produce seismic activity, however convergent and transform boundaries have the most activity.
Do most severe earthquakes occur at plate boundaries or in the middle of plates?
Plate Boundaries
Where do earthquakes occur the most - near plate boundaries or far away from plate boundaries?
Near plate boundaries. (Thank you teacher for explaining)
