What kind of fault is probably most common in the northern San Andreas fault system and why?
The san Andreas fault is a transform boundary between two plates. The resultant fault of a transform boundary is a strike-slip fault. The North American plate and the Pacific plate are both moving vertically in different directions.
Which type of boundary do most earthquakes occur why?
Plate boundaries around Japan are convergent boundaries ie two plates are sliding towards each other. Japan has been formed as a result of the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the continental Amurian Plate and Okinawa Plate to the south, and subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Okhotsk Plate to the north.
What plate boundary created the mid Atlantic ridge?
The Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent plate boundary, also known as a spreading center.
What plate boundary was the Shensi Earthquake?
Convergence plate boundary between the Eurasian Plate and the Indian Plate.
What type of fault was the Great Chilean Earthquake on?
The plate boundary the Chile earthquake occurred on in 2010 was the converging boundary. A converging boundary is when two plates move closer together. In this case the converging boundary moved so close together that the plates hut one another. They then subducted under on another and the earthquake was formed.
What is a continental margin is also known as a plate boundary?
Fault line
What type of plate boundary is the queen charlotte fault?
It is a transform plate boundary.
Is a transform fault boundary?
A transform fault boundary is a conservative plate boundary. This is what gets rid of lithosphere.
Is San Francisco on a plate boundary?
Yes, San Francisco lies near the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. This tectonic boundary is known as the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform fault boundary.
Which type of plate boundary is associated with the San Andreas Fault?
The San Andreas Fault is associated with a transform plate boundary. It marks the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, where they are sliding past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes along the fault line.
What plate boundary type is the San Andreas fault?
A transform boundary.
What type of plate boundary is San Francisco on?
San Francisco lies on the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, known as the San Andreas Fault. This boundary is a transform plate boundary, where the plates slide horizontally past each other.
What type of plate boundary is the dead sea fault zone on?
The Dead Sea fault zone is located on a Transform boundary.
What is the name of the part of the plate boundary that passes through California?
actually it is not a plate boundary it is a fault a strike slip fault -les bois student014
What is a real-world example of a transform plate boundary?
The San Andreas fault is a transform plate boundary.
What is a boundary where 2 plates move apart?
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
The active boundary between a plate is what?
It is called a fault
