What else can I help you with?
What type of boundary is called when two tectonic plates move side by side?
I believe it is called a fault, like the San Andreas fault in California.
What forces and boundaries are associated with the reverse fault?
In a convergent boundary
Is San Francisco on a plate boundary?
Yes, San Francisco lies near the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. This tectonic boundary is known as the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform fault boundary.
What is a fault that is formed when compression causes the hanging wall to move over the foot wall is a?
This is called a reverse or thrust fault.
Is the following sentence true or false a strike-slip fault that forms the boundary between two plates is called a convergent boundary?
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.
At what kind of tectonic boundary would you mostly likely find reverse fault?
You would most likely find a reverse fault at a convergent tectonic boundary, where two tectonic plates are colliding and one plate is being forced up and over the other. Reverse faults are characterized by vertical displacement and compression.
What fault occurs at a convergent boundary.?
A reverse fault
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.
What type of boundary is a reverse fault on?
You can find it on a convergent boundary
What type of mountain is the Himalayan mountains?
Intercontinental convergent boundary.
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 type of fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary?
A reverse fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary where two tectonic plates collide and one is forced over the other, causing compression and uplift of the Earth's crust.
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.
What fault generally occurs at a convergent boundary.?
reverse
The rocks above a what fault are forced up and over below the fault?
A reverse fault is formed here
What type of boundary is called when two tectonic plates move side by side?
I believe it is called a fault, like the San Andreas fault in California.
