divergent= move away from each other convergent= CONVERGE together strike-slip= brushing past each other
A divergent boundary occurs at the point where two plates are moving away from each, creating more crust at the point of separation. A convergent boundary is where two plates are both moving into each other, neither subducting under the other, but pushing up the crust. A strike slip boundary occurs when plates are colliding at an angle. Tension builds up and is released in the form of an earthquake.
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
Convergent boundary: associated with subduction zones, mountain ranges, and trenches. Divergent boundary: associated with rift valleys, mid-ocean ridges, and seafloor spreading. Transform boundary: associated with strike-slip faults and earthquakes.
Transform
Transform faults are strike-slip faults that occur at the boundary between two plates of the earth's crust and do not produce or destroy lithosphere. Divergent faults produce new sea floor, while convergent faults occur when two plates collide underneath and create underground mountains.
A strike-slip plate boundary is a type of transform plate boundary where two tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other. The movement is typically parallel to the boundary and can result in earthquakes. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known example of a strike-slip plate boundary.
Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.
The three types of faults are normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults are associated with divergent plate boundaries, reverse faults with convergent plate boundaries, and strike-slip faults with transform plate boundaries.
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
No, a strike-slip fault forms at a transform boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally. A convergent boundary is where two plates move towards each other, leading to subduction or collision.

False. A strike-slip fault forms at a transform boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. A convergent boundary is formed when two plates collide and one plate is forced beneath the other in a subduction zone.
YES. A Strike-slip fault is usually a transform boundary.
a. Transform:transform boundaries or motion creates strike-slip faults.b. Convergent:convergent boundaries or motion creates reverse faults.c. Divergent:divergent motion creates a normal fault.
No it is not.
All of them. Divergent (spreading ridges), convergent (subduction zones), and transform (strike-slip). An example of each include the following: Divergent: Mid-Atlantic spreading ridge Convergent: Cascade Arc Transform: San Andreas Fault
