What else can I help you with?
What are the 3 type of earthquakes?
(1)midocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.Normal fault, Reverse fault, and strike-slip fault
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 type of plate boundaries do stratovolcanoes occur?
At constructive plate margins (where two plate slide away from each other) or a destructive plate boundary (where two plates slide together), volcanoes do not occur at a conservative plate margin. Hope this helps
What type of phenomena occur along fracture zones?
i have no idea why are you asking me
What type of plate margin was the Japanese earthquake?
it is on a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone
Subduction zones and what type of boundary do they represent?
Subduction zones represent convergent boundaries, where two tectonic plates are colliding. In a subduction zone, one plate is forced beneath the other into the Earth's mantle, leading to the formation of deep oceanic trenches, volcanic arcs, and earthquakes. This process can generate powerful geohazards such as tsunamis and volcanic eruptions.
What plate boundary is a composite volcano on?
Composite volcanoes most often are found near subduction zones. They can be found at either oceanic-oceanic convergent plate boundaries, oceanic-continental plate boundaries, or continental-continental plate boundaries. They are especially prevalent in the Pacific Ring of Fire. A few composite volcanoes, however, have been found at divergent boundaries and away from plate boundaries at hot spots.
What geologic features are associated with each type of convergent boundary?
Subduction zones, trenches and volcanic islands: the boundary that is oceanic. Trenches and volcanic islands: an oceanic-continental boundary. Folded mountain ranges: a continental and continental collision.
At what type of boundaries do subduction zones form?
In plate tectonics, when two tectonic plates move toward each other, it results in the formation of what is called a convergent plate boundary. The two plates are said to converge. One plate may be more dense than the other, and with the two plates pushing against each other, the plate that is more dense will "slide under" the other plate. The plate sliding under is said to subduct the other plate, and this creates what is called a subduction zone. Not all convergent plate boundaries have subduction zones, but all subduction zones are formed at convergent plate boundaries.
Where can each boundary type be found on earth?
Divergent boundaries are found along mid-ocean ridges, convergent boundaries are found at subduction zones and mountain ranges, and transform boundaries are found along fault lines like the San Andreas Fault in California.
What is a region where a plate descends?
A region where a plate descends is called a subduction zone. In this type of plate boundary, one tectonic plate is forced beneath another due to differences in density. Subduction zones are commonly associated with volcanic activity and earthquakes.
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 type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonics plates?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from a collision between two tectonic plates is a?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What is the type of tectonic plate boundary that forms from collision between two tectonic plates is a?
Convergent boundaries occur at subduction zones, the point where one plate slides under another plate.
What is the plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another?
The plate tectonic process where one plate moves under another is called subduction. This process occurs at convergent plate boundaries, where the denser oceanic plate typically sinks beneath the less dense continental plate. Subduction zones are associated with deep oceanic trenches and volcanic arcs.
What type of plate boundary forms volcanic islands?
I thought the same which forms mountain ranges, 'constructive' plates.Volcanic Island arcs are found along subduction zones, wich occur at convergent boundaries.
