Do divergent boundaries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
What plate boundary do earthquakes usually occur on?
earthquakes only happen at the edge of tectonic plates because of them moving which causes the 'quake' so there are never any BIG earthquakes in the UK because it is in the middle of a tectonic plate
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 plate boundary is not associated with volcanic eruptions?
Transform boundaries do not produce volcanic activity.
What plate boundary do earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
Volcanoes usually occur along what plate boundaries?
transform and divergent
Where are earhthquakes most likely to occur?
On tectonic plate boundaries. The transform boundaries. :P
Is an earthquakes a convergent or transform?
Earthquakes occur at all plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary do most earthquakes occur near to or along?
they occur at transform boundaries
What plate boundaries do hot spots from?
Plate boundaries are usually not associated with plate boundaries. In the cases that they occur near them, it is usually coincidence.
What happens to plates at a transform plate boundary?
earthquakes occur where there are transformed boundaries.
Do divergent boundaries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
What three types of plate boundaries where volcanic eruptions can occur?
a) Divergent Plate Boundaries: Divergent plate boundaries are locations where plates are moving away from one another. This occurs above rising convection currents. b) Convergent Plate Boundaries: Convergent plate boundaries are locations where lithospheric plates are moving towards one another. The plate collisions that occur in these areas can produce earthquakes, volcanic activity and crustal deformation. c) Transform Boundary: Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another. The fracture zone that forms a transform plate boundary is known as a transform fault. Most transform faults are found in the ocean basin and connect offsets in the mid-ocean ridges.
Where do valcanos usually occur?
Volcanoes occur on tectonic plate boundaries
What types of plate boundaries are There?
There are divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
What are 3 types of boundaries where volcanic eruptions occur?
Divergent, since when the plates split, magma reaches the surface. Convergent, since it is where volcanoes are typically formed. Transform, since trough any crack magma can come out too.
What type of plate boundarries found in andesitic valcano?
Plate boundaries are not found in volcanoes.Volcanoes occur along plate boundaries usually along convergent boundaries
