When does an earthquake occur along a fault?
plates of the earth crash into each other along faults causing an earthquake
The fracture along which blocks of crust move relative to each other?
A fault
Where do the majority of the earthquake on earth occur?
Most earthquakes occur along the oceanic and continental plates where two plates are running into each other or sliding past each other. Fault lines or cracks in the earth can be created along these plate edges. The Pacific plate is the most active so most of the earthquakes are along the edge of that plate such as the Ring of Fire in the basin of the Pacific Ocean.
What forms at a transform boundary?
Earthquakes form at a Transform boundary when the plate slips past each other.
What is most likely to happen along a transform fault boundary?
At these boundaries, the rocks grind and slide against each other, causing earthquakes.
What type of moraine forms along each side of a glaicer?
There are many types of moraines. These include medial moraine, lateral moraine, ground moraine, and terminal moraine. The type that forms along each side of a glacier is a terminal moraine. The one that forms from unsorted rock materials is called a medial moraine.
By how much is the North Moraine Hill Glacier moving each year?
All glaciers in the northwest territories move, on average, about 50 ft. per day.
Where is longest glacier in the world locate?
Where is the world's longest glacier?The world's longest glacier is the Lambert-Fisher glacier at an icy 320 miles in length and a not-so-hot 25 miles in width.The Lambert-Fisher glacier is a speed demon as far as slow moving masses of ice go, moving over a half mile each year.The Lambert-Fisher Glacier located in Antarctica
How many faces of a triangular prism are made up of rectangles?
Three. There are three rectangles that are joined along their parallel edges which forms a triangle at each end.
How can an esker be quickly differentiated from a moraine by its sediment?
Since the esker was deposited in a flowing water regime, I would not expect to find many fine clays there. And I would not expect to find any large boulders, >1m in an esker. The moraine on the other hand will have parts that have been formed by rocks grinding each other in a comparatively waterless regime. So it will have lots of fine clays. Boulders >>1m could even be a feature of a moraine.
What are some examples of each of the three r's?
One is Plants,Anthor is Water and last is Glacier
What kind of succession occurs after a glacier recedes?
The four stages of succession that occur after a glacier recedes are lichens, mosses, grasses, and trees. Each stage building upon the last.
What is the highest elevation reached on a full day hike of the Franz Josef Glacier?
It depends of the weather a lot. The glacier is rapidly going back each year so the altitude might slightly change.
Each latin noun has how many forms?
Each latin noun has five forms referred to as declension.
What is the pressure causing ice layers to slid over each other called?
Basal slip occurs when the glacier rests on a slope. Pressure causes a small amount of ice at the bottom of the glacier to melt, creating a thin layer of water. This reduces friction enough that the glacier can slide down the slope. Loose soil underneath a glacier can also cause basal slip.
What are the different forms of a gene that decided a known as?
Each allele has two forms which are known as alleles. Alleles play an important role as to which characteristics either from mother or father will be passed along to the next generation. The way in which alleles are expressed is the study of genetics.
How are there only a few atoms yet millions of substances?
Each atom can exist in many forms on its own. Then when you combine each of the forms with each of the forms of the other atoms, the number of substances increases exponentially.
