Earthquakes what and occur at plate boundaries?
well, there are three different types of things that could happen ,if two plates are pushing towards each other these plates are called destructive plate boundaries, here the land is destroyed, they could be moving away from each other these would be called constructive her land is created, they could be sliding past each other these are named conserve
What is most likely to happen along a transform fault boundary?
At these boundaries, the rocks grind and slide against each other, causing earthquakes.
Why are most of the earthquakes and volcanoes located at the border of the tectonic plates?
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
What is the edge of a tectonic plate?
Divergent boundaries - two plates Pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries - when two plates collide forming trenches or causing earthquakes. Tranform boundaries - two plates slide past each other
Do most earthquakes and volcanos occur at plate boundaries?
For the most part, yes. Plate boundaries are where they either converge, or diverge, or transform against each other. If they Diverge, that opens a space between the two spaces, letting lava flow out and create more sea floor. When they Converge (come together), that makes a ridge (although not necessarily a volcano). The Ring of Fire is a prime example of quakes and volcanoes appearing on plate boundaries. The 'Ring' is actually on plates, if you look at a map of Plate Boundaries (see Related Links) you can see that.
Can an ocean be a result of plate boundaries pushing together?
No. Plate boundaries pushing together will, over enough time, get rid of an ocean. Plate boundaries pulling apart from each other will create an ocean given enough time.
What is the main result of the transform boundary?
Transform boundaries are where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. The main result of transform boundaries is the creation of transform faults, which can cause earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. These boundaries help accommodate the movement of the Earth's tectonic plates.
How does motion through fluids produce friction?
Friction is the result of materials pushing against each other. Liquids are very dense so they produce greater friction. Also the fluid will want to maintain it direction or static position. So an object moving in any other direct ion will be pushing ( friction) against the fluid.
Do faults cause earthquakes?
no. the plates pushing against each other do.
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes usually happen at plate boundaries?
Earthquakes and volcanoes usually occur at plate boundaries because this is where the Earth's tectonic plates interact and are constantly moving. When plates collide, separate, or slide past each other, it can generate immense pressure and energy that leads to earthquakes and volcanic activity. These events are a result of the dynamic forces shaping the Earth's crust at plate boundaries.
How did the San Andreas fault happen?
It happens by two boundaries pushing past each other which goes through California.
What are the three ways boundaries interact?
convergent boundaries: plates move together divergent boundaries: plates move apart transform boundaries: plates move against each other
Do plate boundaries cause friction?
Yes, friction boundaries cause friction whenever they move. Whenever there's movement, there's friction or rubbing of one plate against the other or of a plate against the earth's mantle.
What is the difference between illegal and legal activities?
Illegal activities are actions that are against the law and can result in punishment, such as fines or imprisonment. Legal activities, on the other hand, are actions that are allowed by the law and do not result in punishment when carried out within the boundaries of the law.
What happens at colliding boundaries?
these boundaries are formed when two plates collide. When the two plate bump one plate is absorbed in the mantle of the other. Heat and pressure when these plates collide causes volcanoes and earthquakes.
What would happen if two plates started to pushing against each other?
nothing
What are the three types of stresses found at plate boundaries?
The three types of stresses found at plate boundaries are compression (pushing together), tension (pulling apart), and shear (sliding past each other). These stresses occur due to the movement of tectonic plates and can result in various geologic phenomena such as earthquakes and mountain formation.
