convergent boundaries
Convergent
why are
A convergent boundary is a reverse fault. It's a reverse fault because it it pushing together, while a divergent boundary is a normal fault because 2 plates are pushing away from each other.
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
The Kansu earthquake took place on the Weihe Basin fault, not on a plate boundary. The Weihe Basin is a normal dip-slip fault.
Rift basins are depressions within the crust and lithosphere that are associated with extensional tectonics. The presence of active normal faulting itself, creates the accomodation space for sedimentary infill within grabens and half graben structures.
Normal Faults, (Rifting).

normal ,tensional
divergent boundary
Shear stress: At a transform boundary, two plates are moving past each other, either in opposite directions or both in the same direction but at differing speeds. As the boundary between the two plates is not perfectly smooth there will be some interlocking along the boundary. As the plates continue to move and this interlocking resists movement, shear stresses develop.
Normal / extensional faulting creates horst and graben topography.
clear transparency is the normal characteristic of the urine

Divergent Boundaries
why are
Skewness is not a characteristic.
