it does but its only when the plates rub against each other

Is an earthquakes a convergent or transform?

An earthquake can occur at divergent, convergent, or transform plate boundaries. However, transform boundaries are most commonly associated with earthquakes due to the intense stress caused by the plates sliding past each other.


What types of plate boundaries are associated with deep earthquakes?

All of them. For example: the earthquake of 2010 in Chile happened along a convergent fault while the 2010 earthquake in Haiti happened along a transform fault. Source: I am just a genius...


Was they Haiti earthquake caused by constructive plate boundaries?

No. The Haitian earthquake was caused by a transform boundary.


Do earthquakes cause transform plate movement?

No, they don't. In fact earthquake are a result of transform plate movement.


What type of plate caused 1994 Northridge earthquake?

The 1994 Northridge earthquake occurred due to the movement along the Northridge blind thrust fault, which is a reverse fault associated with the Pacific Plate sliding northwest relative to the North American Plate. This earthquake was a result of the tectonic forces between these two plates.


What type of plate boundary caused the Chile earthquake in 1960?

transform boundary


What type of plate margin was the Japanese earthquake?

it is on a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone


How do people feel when a transform plate boundaries happen?

When transform plate boundaries occur, people usually do not feel anything directly. These boundaries are characterized by horizontal slippage of the Earth's crust, which does not typically generate the high-impact seismic events associated with other types of plate boundaries like earthquakes at subduction zones or mid-ocean ridges. However, if an earthquake does occur along a transform boundary, people in nearby areas may feel shaking.


What plate boundary is not associated with volcanic eruptions?

Transform boundaries do not produce volcanic activity.


Was the 2011 Japan earthquake a transform earthquake?

No, the 2011 Japan earthquake was a megathrust earthquake, specifically a subduction zone earthquake. It occurred along the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, where the Pacific Plate is subducting beneath the North American Plate.


What type of plate boundary forms earthquake?

earthquakes indicate both convergent,divergent and transform fault plate boundaries


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.
