Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.
What else can I help you with?
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.
Can a fault also be a plate boundary?
Yes, for example the San Andreas Fault is a plate boundary.
What type of fault was the Great Chilean Earthquake on?
The plate boundary the Chile earthquake occurred on in 2010 was the converging boundary. A converging boundary is when two plates move closer together. In this case the converging boundary moved so close together that the plates hut one another. They then subducted under on another and the earthquake was formed.
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.
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.
At what type of plate boundary are strike-slip faults found near?
A certain type of strike-slip fault is found at a transform plate boundary.
What is the name of the part of the plate boundary that passes through California?
actually it is not a plate boundary it is a fault a strike slip fault -les bois student014
What type of plate boundary are strike slip fault found at?
Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.
What type of plate boundary is the dead sea fault zone on?
The Dead Sea fault zone is located on a Transform boundary.
What type of plate boundary is found near Haiti?
A strike-slip plate boundary is found near Haiti, specifically the boundary between the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. This boundary is associated with the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden fault system that runs through the region.
What type of fault exists between the North American and Pacific Plate?
The North American and Pacific Plate boundary is an example of a convergent plate boundary, specifically an oceanic to continental convergent plate 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.
The San Andreas fault is what type of plate motion?
The San Andreas fault is a right-lateral (dextral) strike-slip fault which marks a transform (or sliding) boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. In essence the plate boundary is destructive rather than constructive but at present the energy is directed at moving the Pacific Plate in a generally northerly direction, parallel with the coastline.
Can a fault also be a plate boundary?
Yes, for example the San Andreas Fault is a plate boundary.
What type boundary is the San Andreas Fault?
It is a right-lateral strike-slip fault
The san andreas fault is an example of what kind of fault?
The San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip fault where the motion is mainly horizontal, with the two sides moving past each other horizontally. It is a transform boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
What kind of fault is the most common in the northern san Andreas fault system?
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.
