Which is the best description of a strike-slip fault?
A fault that forms at a transform boundary
How does the transform fault boundary occur?
when two plates are slide past one another an example is the san Andreas fault California which is the boundary between the north America and pacific plates
Do transform faults cause earthquakes?
Yes, for instance the San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault and the famous San Fransisco earthquake happened on it. However in a pure transform fault movement, there is little or no vertical displacement and in some instances transform faults may move by a process of slow creep causing only minor earthquake swarms instead of big jolts.
What happens when a fault moves suddenly?
Faults are breaks in the crust where the crust has moved. The types of dip-slip faults are normal and reverse faults. In both of these, the movement is along the slope of the fault. Sudden movements along these faults can produce fault scarps. Layers of rock being misaligned is evidence of fault movement. Fault creep is caused by slow movement along the fault.In a normal fault, the plates are moving away from each other. This is due to tension. When the fault moves, the footwall rises relative to the hanging wall. Normal faults occur at divergent boundaries, such as ocean ridges. Normal faults can produce fault-block mountains.In a reverse fault, the plates are moving towards each other. This is due to compression. Here, the footwall falls relative to the hanging wall. A thrust fault is a special type of reverse fault, where the angle is shallow. Reverse faults occur at convergent boundaries, like subduction zones.A strike-slip fault is where the two plates move horizontally past each other. The force between them is called shearing. This type of fault is often called a transform fault, because they occur at transform boundaries.
Why different colors of snap lines?
In Visual Basic, there are two different kinds of snap lines. Blue snap lines indicate that objects are aligned vertically in the work area. Red snap lines indicate that text objects are aligned.
What types of geologic features form where two continental plates collide?
Fault ... ;)
What does the presence of two sharps indicate in music notation?
The presence of two sharps in music notation indicates that the piece is likely in the key of D major.
What are two features indicate a lamb is a mammal?
Live youngs, not eggs
Which block diagram best shows a transform fault?
A block diagram depicting a transform fault typically shows two offset segments of a mid-ocean ridge, with a vertical fault in between. The fault is generally characterized by horizontal displacement of the two segments in opposite directions. The diagram should clearly indicate the transform fault as a boundary between the two offset ridge segments.
Which two features indicate that a cell is an animal cell and not a plant cell?
chloroplastscell wall
Identify two sensory clues that indicate the presence of hazardous materials?
Smell - Some hazardous materials have a distinctive smell that can be used to indicate its presence. Sight - You can see the hazardous material.
Two features that angiosperms and their gymnosperm ancestors have in common are?
The presence of seeds and vascular tissue
What two features indicate that a cell is a plant cell and not an animal cell?
The Cell Wall and the Chloroplast.
What are the two features of Buddhist temples that encouraged meditative experiences?
Silence; and the presence of experienced meditators.
What is transfer fault?
A transfer fault is a type of fault in geology where displacement occurs along essentially horizontal faults that connect two vertical faults. This type of fault allows movement of rock blocks in a horizontal direction and is typically found in areas with complex fault systems. Transfer faults can influence the distribution of stress and strain in the Earth's crust, leading to various geological features and landforms.
What type of geologic feature will form where two continental plates col-lid?
Fault ... ;)
Which tectonic feature is associated with a complex or uncertain plate boundary?
A tectonic feature associated with a complex or uncertain plate boundary is a transform fault, such as the San Andreas Fault. These boundaries occur where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, leading to significant geological activity. The interactions can be complicated due to variations in plate movement and the presence of multiple fault lines, resulting in unpredictable seismic activity. Other features, like microplates or orogenic belts, can also contribute to the complexity of such boundaries.
