What type of fault causes earthquakes?
Earthquakes are typically caused by movement along a fault line, which is a fracture in the Earth's crust where rocks have shifted position relative to each other. The three main types of faults that can cause earthquakes are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults.
What kind of land is formed by the plate boundary?
The landforms that are formed at a transform boundary forms features such as fault lines and oceanic fracture zones. Fault lines are also known as strike slip faults. They produce powerful earthquakes.
What kind of boundaries can cause earthquakes and volcanoes?
Earthquakes can occur at any type of plate boundary, but the most powerful earthquakes tend to occur at convergent boundaries and at transform boundaries.
Kind of boundary when two plates slide past each other?
A transform boundary. This is where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other in opposite directions. This movement can cause earthquakes along the boundary.
What kind of stressors on the rock cause faults?
The stress that causes strike-slip faults is produced by a shearing force and so is called shear stress.
