Do transform plate movements cause volcanoes?
Yup
WHAT ARE THE GEOLOGIC processes events that will occur because of this plate movement?
What are geologic processes/vents that will occur because of this plate movement?
When plate movements cause the crust to bend downward a what is formed?
When a plate is pushed under an adjacent plate, the process is called subduction. The subducted crust melts into the core and is recycled. When the plate goes into the mantel it is heated to very high temperatures and turns into metamorphic rock.
Does Earthquakes have weather geologic or humans cause?
Earthquakes are primarily caused by geological factors such as tectonic plate movements and volcanic activity. External factors such as weather do not directly cause earthquakes, although heavy rainfall or melting snow can sometimes trigger landslides that may lead to the destabilization of the Earth's crust and potential seismic activity. Humans can also induce earthquakes through activities like mining, reservoir-induced seismicity, and hydraulic fracturing.
What is a plate tactonics?
Plate tectonics is the scientific theory that Earth's outer shell is divided into several large, rigid plates that move and interact with each other at the boundaries. These plate movements are responsible for various geologic phenomena such as earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
What process creates a formation geology?
Formations are created by geologic processes such as sedimentation, erosion, volcanism, and plate movements.
Do transform plate movements cause volcanoes?
Yup
What four types of plate movements can cause earthquakes?
The four types of plate movements that can cause earthquakes are convergent boundaries, divergent boundaries, transform boundaries, and subduction zones. These movements can result in the buildup of stress within the Earth's crust, which may eventually be released in the form of an earthquake.
What does strike slip faults cause?
They can cause earthquakes or plate movements, depends how big it was. -bkinishi@yahoo.com

Why is that transform faults can be used to figure out the directions of the plate movements?
Transform faults will offset rock units by tens, hundreds, or thousands of miles over geologic time, thus showing the relative movement of a plate boundary.
When plate movements cause the crust to bend downward what is formed?
Metamorphic rock i think?
