What is a transverse boundary?

A transverse boundary is when two plates collide, causing great amounts of pressure. The plates crumble, and usually get destroyed. This is a very destructive type of boundary. This is also know as a transform boundary, or a sliding boundary- even though this action is the opposite of sliding.


Why type of plate boundary are most earthquakes near?

convergent boundary


What type of boundary is responsible for earthquakes?

Divergent, transform, and convergent all have earthquakes


How might the San Andreas fault impact your lives?

The San Andreas Fault is a transverse fault boundary and causes earthquakes, impacting everyone in the region.


What type of boundary do shallow earthquakes seem to correlate to any particular type of plate boundary?

Something something in a subduction zone


What is another name for a strike slip boundary?

A strike-slip boundary is also known as a transform boundary. This type of boundary occurs where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.


Is an earthquake a transverse wave or a longitudinal wave?

Earthquakes generate both transverse and longitudinal waves.


What is the least dangerous plate boundary?

According to scientific studies, the least dangerous plate boundary is the divergent boundary. Only moderate earthquakes occur in this type of boundary compared to convergent and transform plate boundaries.


What is the wave that is combination of transverse and longitude waves are called?

A wave that is a combination of transverse and longitudinal waves is called a surface wave. Surface waves travel along the boundary between two mediums, exhibiting characteristics of both transverse and longitudinal waves. These waves are commonly seen in earthquakes and ocean waves.


What is the type of plate boundary where two plates collide?

A convergent boundary is where two plates collide. This can lead to the formation of mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.


What type of plate boundary with the most occurrences of earthquake?

The type of plate boundary with the most occurrences of earthquakes is the convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates collide. The intense pressure and stress caused by the collision can result in frequent seismic activity and powerful earthquakes.


Which type of boundary produces earthquakes?

the answer to this question is a transform boundary. At a transform boundary plates slide past one another. Because tectonic plates have irregular edges, they grind and jerk as they slide, which produces earthquakes.
