What fault is associated with shear stress?
Strike slip faults and transform faults are associated with shear stress.
Are earthquakes most common where two continental plates spread apart?
They are most likely to occur at transform boundaries.
What type of plate boundary are strike-slip faults found at?
Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.
Which kind of boundary is seen in earthquakes that are normal faults?
Transform boundaries are seen in earthquakes that are caused by normal faults. Some types of faults are listric or ring faults.
Transform boundaries that connect short segments of a mid ocean ridge are called?
Transform faults I believe.
Where do most present day faults occur?
Most present-day faults occur along boundaries. The three types of geologic boundaries are transform boundaries, divergent boundaries and convergent boundaries.
Where are the midocean ridges offset the most by faults?
At transform faults or transform zones.
Which type of boundary produces strike-slip faults?
Slip-strike faults always occur at transform boundaries. The San Andreas Fault is a famous transform boundary in located in southern California.
Where do earthquakes occur mostly at?
yo momma hahahahahahah jk it's in faults and transform boundries.
Do most transform faults produce moderateshallow quakes?
yes
What types of plates do Earthquakes form on?
Earthquakes typically occur on a any fault because the most common earthquake is the tectonic earthquake and it occurs on all the faults, though usually has the most effect on strike-slip faults (like the San Andreas fault).
What type of fault is at a transform plate boundary?
Transform faults are strike-slip faults that occur at the boundary between two plates of the earth's crust and do not produce or destroy lithosphere. Divergent faults produce new sea floor, while convergent faults occur when two plates collide underneath and create underground mountains.
Where do most faults occurs?
Most Faults Occur Where The Earths Crust Is Extended
Where are most transform fault found?
joining two segments of a mid-ocean ridge
What type of stress is most directly associated with transform faults?
Shear Stress.
Why are strik-slip faults common at transform boundaries?
They are common at transform boundaries because strike-slip faults move up and down like transform boundaries.
Do transform faults make mountains?
No
