What happens along a fault beneath earth's surface during an earthquake?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
The force of an earthquake is?
'..... is measured on the Richter scale.'Transform Fault Boundaries.the plate of the earth pushes oppositedirections and that causes the earth to shake
What fault type is most common in San Andreas fault system?
It's a transform boundary between two plates. The resultant fault of a transform boundary.
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.
What type of fault is the 1994 Northridge earthquake on?
It is a THRUST fault The San Andreas Fault
Transform fault?
A Transform fault boundaries are where two plates are sliding horizontally past one another. They sometimes even get stuck. the longer the time before the plates slip, the stronger the earthquake.
What is a transformed fault?
a transform boundary is when two plates scrape past each other with an effect of a earthquake
What fault will occur at a transform boundary?
A Transform fault boundaries are where two plates are sliding horizontally past one another. They sometimes even get stuck. the longer the time before the plates slip, the stronger the earthquake.
Do transform faults cause earthquakes?
Yes, for instance the San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault and the famous San Fransisco earthquake happened on it. However in a pure transform fault movement, there is little or no vertical displacement and in some instances transform faults may move by a process of slow creep causing only minor earthquake swarms instead of big jolts.
What is a transform fault boundary?
A transform fault boundary is a type of tectonic plate boundary characterized by horizontal sliding of plates past each other. This movement can cause earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. An example of a transform fault boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Was the earthquake in Haiti caused by a transform boundary or a convergent boundary?
The earthquake in Haiti was caused by a strike-slip fault along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone, which is a transform boundary. This type of boundary is where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, causing stress to build up and be released in the form of an earthquake.
What happens along a fault beneath earth's surface during an earthquake?
If the fault is responsible for the earthquake, there will be movement (displacement) along the fault.
What type of plate boundary was involved in earthquake kansu?
The Kansu earthquake took place on the Weihe Basin fault, not on a plate boundary. The Weihe Basin is a normal dip-slip fault.
Name of the fault where the San Francisco 1906 occurred?
The San Andreas fault is where it occured.
What type of plate boundary forms earthquake?
earthquakes indicate both convergent,divergent and transform fault plate boundaries
What is most studied transform fault in the world?
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
What fault occur at transform boundary?
A strike-slip or transform fault.
