What else can I help you with?
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
What forms at a transform boundary?
Earthquakes form at a Transform boundary when the plate slips past each other.
Which type of boundary do most earthquakes occur why?
Plate boundaries around Japan are convergent boundaries ie two plates are sliding towards each other. Japan has been formed as a result of the subduction of the Philippine Sea Plate beneath the continental Amurian Plate and Okinawa Plate to the south, and subduction of the Pacific Plate under the Okhotsk Plate to the north.
What are the two kinds of earthquakes?
highly movable plate boundary quakes
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What is the least dangerous plate boundary?
According to scientific studies, the least dangerous plate boundary is the divergent boundary. Only moderate earthquakes occur in this type of boundary compared to convergent and transform plate boundaries.
Are earthquakes divergent convergent or transform?
Earthquakes occur at all three types of plate boundary.
Do earthquakes most often occur at faults that are away from plate boundary?
Earthquakes infrequently occur away from plate boundaries. Most earthquakes occur at plate boundaries because of the stress caused by the interacting plates.
Why does Britain not get effected by earthquakes?
Britain is effected by earthquakes. However because Britain is not near a tectonic plate boundary, the earthquakes that occur tend to be low in magnitude.
Is a destructive plate boundary hazardous?
Very much so. This is where volcanoes, earthquakes and even tsunamis can occur.
What type of plate boundary produces strong earthquakes?
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
What does a transformational plate boundary form?
A transformational plate boundary forms earthquakes.
Where do you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes on Earth's surface?
usually you find most of the zones of earthquakes and volcanoes at a plate boundary.
What type of plate boundary are most earthquakes found at?
All three type of Earthquakes (Shallow-seated, Medium-seated and Deep-seated) occur only at the Convergent plate boundary. At divergent plate boundary we find mostly Shallow-seated Earthquakes only.
Are earthquakes most common where two continental plates spread apart?
No, earthquakes are most common at plate boundaries, such as where two plates collide (convergent boundary) or slide past each other (transform boundary). Earthquakes at divergent boundaries, where plates spread apart, are generally less frequent and less powerful.
Are there earthquakes volcanoes hurricanes and tsunamis at he nazca plate boundary?
The plate boundary between the Nazca Plate and the South American Plate does produce volcanoes, earthquakes, and tsunamis. Hurricanes have nothing to do with plate boundaries.
