What else can I help you with?
What type of stress is most directly associated with transform faults?
Shear Stress.
What type of plate boundary are strike slip fault found?
Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.
All faults will cause earthquakes?
It all depends on how big the fault is, bigger ones will cause bigger earthquakes, while smaller, or small ones may cause no earthquake at all.
What major natural disaster do earthquake sometimes cause?
TSUNAMI :)
Where do earthquakes occur mostly at?
yo momma hahahahahahah jk it's in faults and transform boundries.
What force can cause strike slip faults?
transform
Where are the midocean ridges offset the most by faults?
At transform faults or transform zones.
Strike slip faults cause of?
The cause of Strike-Slip faults are the formation of transform boundarys. My soures: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/What_plate_boundary_causes_a_strike_slip_fault The answer: I am certain that the answer is the transform boundary. The only thing I don't quite know is what is the difference from a boundary and a fault but I am 100% certain that the answer to your question is the transform boundary.
What are some natural disasters caused by a transform fault?
Transform faults, where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, can result in earthquakes but are not typically associated with natural disasters. However, they can indirectly contribute to other natural disasters. For example, if a transform fault runs through a coastal area, the sudden movement along the fault during an earthquake could trigger a tsunami, which can be highly destructive. Additionally, the rupture of a transform fault might also lead to landslides, particularly if it occurs in mountainous regions.
What features are found at transform boundaries?
At transform boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes due to the release of built-up stress along the boundary. Additionally, features such as strike-slip faults and transform faults are common at transform boundaries.
What kind of fault is represented by the eltanin and romanche fracture zones?
The Eltanin and Romanche fracture zones are oceanic transform faults. These types of faults occur at the boundary between two tectonic plates where they slide past each other horizontally. The movement along these faults can cause earthquakes and contribute to the overall plate tectonics process
What do transform fault occur?
Transform faults occur when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. These faults are found in mid-ocean ridges where plates are moving apart. The movement along transform faults can result in earthquakes.
What forces cause strike slip fault?
The forces that cause strike slip faults are shearing forces. These forces refer to a pair of equally opposed forces.
Why are strik-slip faults common at transform boundaries?
Strike-slip faults are common at transform boundaries because the plates are sliding past each other horizontally in opposite directions. This movement creates shear stress along the faults, leading to the formation of strike-slip faults. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known example of a transform boundary with a prominent strike-slip fault.
Do transform faults make mountains?
No, transform faults do not make mountains. Transform faults occur where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. Mountains are typically formed by the convergence of tectonic plates, where one plate is forced beneath the other, or by volcanic activity.
What type of boundary forms faults?
a transform boundary
What boundary produces strike slip faults?
Transform
