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 is most likely to happen along a transform fault boundary?
At these boundaries, the rocks grind and slide against each other, causing earthquakes.
Do divergent boundaries have earthquakes?
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
At which type(s) of plate boundary do earth earthquakes occur?
Earthquakes happen when a rock face along the fault line gives way or grinds against the other side. These are not boundaries such as convergent or divergen boundaries but are generally known as transform faults or just faults.
Where are earthquakes generally more violent?
Along a boundary where tension builds up over a great period of time. Ducis!);
What events are most likely to occur along a transform boundary?
The answer is Earthquakes
What events are most likely to occur along transform boundary?
The answer is Earthquakes
What is the relationship between the earthquake regions and the plate boundaries?
Earthquakes are very common along transform boundaries. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas fault in California.
Are Earthquakes common along transform boundaries?
yes
What type of plate boundary do most earthquakes occur near to or along?
they occur at transform boundaries
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 does transform boundary means?
two plates slip past each other and cause earthquakes along
What types of plate boundaries are associated with deep earthquakes?
All of them. For example: the earthquake of 2010 in Chile happened along a convergent fault while the 2010 earthquake in Haiti happened along a transform fault. Source: I am just a genius...
What causes earthquakes along a transform boundary?
A transform boundary is a fault zone with two plates that are horizontally sliding past each other. The sudden release of energy when the rocks fracture causes an earthquake.
What is most likely to happen along a transform fault boundary?
At these boundaries, the rocks grind and slide against each other, causing earthquakes.
Was the earthquake a transform boundary in japan?
No. it was along a convergent boundary.
Why might frequent smaller earthquakes be desirable along a transform fault boundary?
because the plates are on the floor of the ocean and then doesnt make that big of a mess!
