Is a reverse fault often located along a divergent plate boundary or convergent?
A reverse fault is usually associated with convergent plate boundaries, where two plates are colliding and one is forced upward over the other. It is less common along divergent boundaries, where plates are moving away from each other.
Is the north American plate divergent transform or convergent?
A plate is not classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, a plate boundary i.e. a boundary between plates is. All three types of plate boundary can be found along the edges of the North American plate.
What type of fault is a convergent boundary?
A convergent boundary is a type of fault where two tectonic plates collide, causing compression forces that lead to the plates being pushed together. This can lead to the formation of mountain ranges, deep ocean trenches, and powerful earthquakes.
Is a fault block mountain formed from a divergent or convergent boundray?
A fault block mountain is typically formed from a divergent boundary. As tectonic plates move apart, blocks of crust are uplifted along fault lines, creating fault block mountains. Examples include the Sierra Nevada in California.
What type of plate boundary causes a reverse fault?
In an ideal world this would be a margin that involves some element of compression, so you're looking at a compressional (orogenic) or subducting margin. Anywhere where the crust is thickened generally involves reverse, also known as thrust, faulting.
A reverse fault is formed by what type of tectonic plate boundary?
A reverse fault is typically formed at a convergent plate boundary where two tectonic plates are colliding. The movement along the fault results in one block of rock moving up and over the other block.
What type of boundary is a reverse fault on?
You can find it on a convergent boundary
What fault occurs at a convergent boundary.?
A reverse fault
What type of fault is convergent boundary?
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.
What kind of fault at a convergent boundary?
Reverse
What fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary.?
reverse
What forces and boundaries are associated with the reverse fault?
In a convergent boundary

Was the valdidvia earthquake on a transform fault?
No. The Valdivia earthquake was on a convergent boundary.
