What type of plate margin was the Japanese earthquake?
it is on a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone
Which type of fault do most earthquake occur along?
strike slip
Is earthquake a type of tsunami?
No, a tsunami MAY occur after an earthquake, if the epicenter of the quake was underwater. Tsunamis do not always follow an underwater earthquake, though. That adds to people's uncertainty after a quake, especially about whether they should flee to higher ground after a quake.
If their was a earthquake out into the ocean would there be a tsunami?
there is a possibility, it depends on how strong the quake is, tsunamis do not occur on a type 2-3 quakes, tsunamis occur during the shift of the tectonic plates under the ground. quakes with intensity of 2-3 often develop cyclones or whirlpools. but immediately evacuate the area if an earthquake is occurring.
What is the onset type of an earthquake?
rapid onset type
What happend in Haiti?
Type your answer here... there was an earthquake in haiti
What type of natural disaster struck haiti?
a massive earthquake hit haiti.
What type of plate boundary caused earthquake in Haiti?
The earthquake in Haiti was caused by a strike-slip fault along the boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate. Strike-slip faults occur when two plates slide past each other horizontally, causing seismic activity.
What type of boundary did the Haiti earthquake occur at?
The Haiti earthquake that occurred in 2010 was a result of a strike-slip boundary where the North American Plate and Caribbean Plate slid past each other horizontally along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault zone.
What type of earthquake did Haiti suffer?
It was a conservative earthquake caused by tectonic plates under ground, that rub together to make friction.
What type of plate boundary does an earthquake occur at?
stomer
What type of plate margin was the Japanese earthquake?
it is on a convergent plate boundary also known as a subduction zone
Which type of fault do most earthquake occur along?
strike slip
What type of earthquake hit Haiti?
Haiti was a conservative (AKA transforming) earthquake, were tow tectonic plates move past each other causing friction, on of them gives rapid shaking is caused making an earth quake.7.0
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 type of tectonic interaction did haiti earthquake have?
The Haiti earthquake in 2010 was caused by a strike-slip fault interaction along the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault Zone. This fault zone is located along the boundary between the Caribbean Plate and the North American Plate.
How did Haiti prepare for their earthquake?
You can predict earthquakes by calculating the occurrence interval (how common certain magnitudes of a type of disaster are for a location), the larger the event the less common it will be. you can also look at the position of the fault lines and tectonic plate and how long it is since they have moved. There are also usually some ground tremors before the actual earthquake that would give warning. Haiti prepared terribly because it was extremely poor.
