Earthquakes can occur when which of the following is passed?
Earthquake is the result of a sudden release of energy in the Earth's crust that creates seismic waves.Tectonic earthquakes will occur anywhere within the earth where there is sufficient stored elastic strain energy to drive fracture propagation along a fault plane.There are three main types of fault that may cause an earthquake: normal, reverse (thrust) and strike-slip. Normal and reverse faulting are examples of dip-slip, where the displacement along the fault is in the direction of dip and movement on them involves a vertical component. Normal faults occur mainly in areas where the crust is being extended such as a divergent boundary. Reverse faults occur in areas where the crust is being shortened such as at a convergent boundary. Strike-slip faults are steep structures where the two sides of the fault slip horizontally past each other ; transform boundaries are a particular type of strike-slip fault. Many earthquakes are caused by movement on faults that have components of both dip-slip and strike-slip; this is known as oblique slip.Earthquakes often occur in volcanic regions and are caused there, both by tectonic faults and the movement of magma in volcanoes. Such earthquakes can serve as an early warning of volcanic eruptions.

What kind of faults you find in the mid Atlantic ridge?
Mainly transverse faults. This is caused by the way in which the sea-floor spreads, and the perpendicular faults slide past each other as the plates separate. The plates are moving away from each other, but as the divergence is not uniform and in a single line, faults are formed between the respective sides as a result of their movement. These faults are transverse as they move side by side. This is comparable to a Conservative plate boundary, but is not to be confused with it as this is not a tectonic boundary, but a fault.
