What type of margin did the Haiti earthquake occur at?
Transform boundary
What type of earthquake was the 2011 Japanese earthquakes?
Earthquakes don't come in "types"; but there are a number of ways of how they are caused. In this case, the Japan 2011 earthquake happened when the pacific plated shifted, causing a tremendous amount of energy to be released and resulting in the earthquake and tsunami.
What type of plate boundary caused the Chile earthquake in 1960?
transform boundary
What type of fault caused the Tangshan earthquake?
the uneven heat distribution between the plate tectonics
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 margin does Japan have?
Japan sits on top of a destructive plate margin.
Which type of plate margin forms volcanoes?
A physcadelic plate.
What type of margin did the Haiti earthquake occur at?
Transform boundary
What type of plate boundary does an earthquake occur at?
stomer
What type of plate boundary was the Andreanof earthquake?
Convergent
What is independent variable of earthquake?
The independent variable for earthquake is the type of plate that transforms into a boundary
What type of plate boundary caused earthquake in Haiti?
a conservative one
What type of plate caused 1994 Northridge earthquake?
It was a Transform Boundary.

What was the plate boundary in the Kashmir earthquake?
It was the Indian and Arabian plate. Do'nt know if they were subduction, convergent, or spreading.
What type of plate boundary was the loma prieta earthquake?
A conservative plate margin. These 2 plates run-along side each other, but because the plates aren't smooth they can get stuck, they can stay like this for decades and then suddenly one plate lurches forward. Just like the South American Plate, this made Loma prieta break out. Hope this helped!!
What type of earthquake hit Chile on the 27th of February 2010?
The Chilean earthquake had a magnitude of 8.8 and was a thrust fault earthquake that occurred at a convergent plate boundary where subduction of the Nazca plate under the South American plate is occurring. This type of thrust faulting at subduction zones is commonly referred to as a megathrust earthquake. Please see the related question for further information.
