What are convergent divergent and transform boundaries?
Boundaries, or faults, are locations on the edges of plates, crustal masses that are very slowly moving atop the convective outer mantle (asthenosphere).At convergent boundaries, two crustal masses (plates) are pushing into each other. This can result in subduction, so may be a destructive boundary.At divergent boundaries, two masses of rock are pulling away from each other. This can be a constructive boundary when it produces rifting and seafloor spreading.At transform boundaries, or transform faults, rock masses move past one another. These are known as conservativeboundaries because crust is neither destroyed or created.(these can cause earthquakes when accumulated strain is released)
How many plates are in earth that causes quakes?
All of the earth's tectonic plates have the potential to shift and cause an earthquake. However most of the time they only have the potential and some are more likely to shift than others.
Why does san Andreas get so many earth quakes?
It gets so many Earth Quakes because it is under a fault line. Plates under the Earth's surface rub against each other and create Earth Quakes.
Does earth have moonquakes?
does earth have moon quakes
What two plates create the deepest quakes?
Kanitz
Which boundaries can produce earth quakes?
Earthquakes almost always occur at transform boundaries.
What do transform boundarys form?
they forn earthquakes
What are possible results from a transform boundry?
Continental rupture, earth tremors and quakes.
Are there earthquakes in Dubai?
There are two faults in the UAE: the Western Coastline Fault and the Dibba fault zone. Both are strike-slip faults.
What could sea floor spreading produce?
earth quakes
What are fault lines that are associated with earthquakes?
Other factors that can cause faults to slip and produce quakes include: relatively sudden build-ups of weight at the surface (e.g. flooding of large reservoirs) which activate previously dormant faults; and the movement of molten rock in volcanically active areas - here the magma forces its way through weak points in the rock and can cause local tremors. == ==
Which kind of fault is a result f a pulling force?
The kind of fault you may be contemplating about is a transform fault which occurs like all earth quakes when the Earth's tectonic plates move as sea currents change there appearance. A transform fault is the force of two surfaces rubbing across each other creating huge earth quakes like the ones of 1906 and 1989 in San Andreas.

If Mars had earthquakes, would they be marsquakes?
yes im doing a project on sun quakes, moon quakes, and mars quakes
If Mars had earthquakes would they be called marsquakes?

What are three types of faults in Earth science?
There are strike- slip faults, normal faults, and reverse faults. A strike slip fault is where the ground moves past each other. A normal fault is where the plates move pull apart and the plates move up and down. A revers fault is where the plates push into each other and move up and down.
Are there moon quakes on the moon?
The moon does not have moon quakes; it appears to be 'geologically' dead. The moon's core is smaller in proportion than is earth's core. At one time the moon was volcanically active, but it is no longer. It has cooled sufficiently so that internal energy is no longer sufficient to produce such activity.
