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.
Why did the San Francisco earthquake of 1906 happen?
"because of the plates they hit up against each other and made this earthquake. so it is a convergent earthquake " It Was Because Of the San Andreas fault, The pacific plate slid past the north American plate, the grinding caused the the earthquake, It Was a Transform boundary earthquake.
What is a transform fault boundary?
a transform boundary is when two plates scrape past each other with an effect of a earthquake
What type of fault causes earthquakes?
Subduction Zones and Transform faults can produce Earthquakes.
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 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 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 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...
What is the relationship between the earthquake regions and the plate boundaries?
Earthquakes are very common along transform boundaries. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas fault in California.
What are the similarities between the Haitian earthquake and San Francisco earthquake?
Both of these earthquakes occurred due to movement on a transform fault. In the San Francisco earthquakes, this movement occurred on the San Andereas fault and in Haiti this was caused by movement on the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault.
What type of plate boundary forms earthquake?
earthquakes indicate both convergent,divergent and transform fault plate boundaries
What is it called when 2 plates slide past each other?
It is called transform boundaries.An earthquake
