What type of plate boundary with the most occurrences of earthquake?
Transform boundaries are particularly likely to cause earthquakes.
Is crust neither created nor destroyed along a transform boundry?
No new crust is created and no old crust is destroyed. The only thing that happens from the transform boundary is that when the rub against each other that create earthquakes.
Types of plate boundries?
-divergent boundry -convergent boundry -transforming boundry
What kind of force is involved with transform boundaries?
Shearing.
What force can cause strike-slip faults?
transform
What force is present at divergent boundry?
Tension
How do plates move in a transform boundry?
Transform boundarys are also called strike-slip faults. The only transform boundry is in California.
What type of boundry is a transform boundry?
A transform boundry is when two plates slide past each other
What force is present at a transform boundary?
Tension
A place where plates slide past one another is what?
transform boundry.
What type of fault runs through haiti?
transform boundry
What is a boundry that two plates slide past each other?
a transform boundary
What are possible results from a transform boundry?
Continental rupture, earth tremors and quakes.
How do transform and transform boundry relate?
A transform boundary forms where plates slide past each other horizontally. Most transform boundaries are found near Mid-ocean ridges.
What is it called when two plates side by side?
transform boundry as in the san Andreas fault
What type of plate boundry causes shearing?
