what type of plate boundary would create a fault?
16204
A transform boundary, where two plates slide past each other in the same plane. Strike-slip faults occur at transform boundaries: for example, a system of strike-slip faults makes up the transform boundary of the San Andreas fault.

At which type of plate boundary would a string of small volcanic islands most likely form? convergent ocean-ocean boundary.

Reverse faults occur at convergent plate boundaries, while normal faults occur at divergent plate boundaries. Earthquakes along strike-slip faults at transform plate boundaries generally do not cause tsunami because there is little or no vertical movement.

When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary. The impact of the colliding plates can cause the edges of one or both plates to buckle up into a mountain ranges or one of the plates may bend down into a deep seafloor trench.

A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth's mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust. When two plates come together, it is known as a convergent boundary.

Transform plate boundaries, have shallow, but very powerful earthquakes. At convergent plate boundaries, where two continental plates collide earthquakes are deep and also very powerful.

Explanation: A transform fault or transform boundary is a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal. It ends abruptly and is connected to another transform, a spreading ridge, or a subduction zone.

If two continental plates collide, neither can sink and so the land buckles upwards to form fold mountains. This is called a collision boundary . Earthquakes can occur at collision boundaries.

Recall that there are three types of plate boundaries: convergent, divergent, and transform. Volcanism occurs at convergent boundaries (subduction zones) and at divergent boundaries (mid-ocean ridges, continental rifts), but not commonly at transform boundaries.

There are three kinds of plate tectonic boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries. This image shows the three main types of plate boundaries: divergent, convergent, and transform. ... A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other.

Where plate pull apart, slide by each other or collide, there is tectonic activity manifested as earthquakes. The great majority of seismicity on the planet occurs at plate boundaries, although intra-plate seismicity can occur as well when stresses build up in the plate.

A transform fault or transform boundary is a fault along a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal. It ends abruptly where it connects to another plate boundary, either another transform, a spreading ridge, or a subduction zone.

The San Andreas Fault is where the Pacific plate collides with the North American plate. this is a convergent boundary. The two plates hit an angle in California. This forms a transverse fault in stead of the subduction zone usually found where an Ocean Plate and a Continatial plate meet.

Most earthquakes occur along the edge of the oceanic and continental plates. ... Notice that many plate boundaries do not coincide with coastlines. Along Faults. Earthquakes can also occur far from the edges of plates, along faults.

Earthquakes happen along the edges of tectonic plates and fault lines and there are three large zones on our planet which are most susceptible to earthquakes. These are the Circum-Pacific Seismic Belt, the Alpide Belt, and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.

About 80% of earthquakes occur where plates are pushed together, called convergent boundaries. Another form of convergent boundary is a collision where two continental plates meet head-on. Since neither plate is stronger than the other, they crumple and are pushed up.
