Ask them what kind of stress results in this type of fault (compression, tension, or shear). Ask them near what plate boundary (convergent, divergent, and transform) one can expect to see this ...

The tiny Juan de Fuca plate is largely ... three types of tectonic boundaries: convergent, where plates move into one another; divergent, where plates move apart; and transform, where plates ...

Four types of plate ... boundary occurs where two land masses on plates are pushed together. Trying to occupy the same space, the land masses buckle and fold, creating mountain ranges. A transform ...

Not only do plate boundary faults generate earthquakes, they also produce slow slip and non-volcanic tremor. New observations on these phenomena provide fresh insights into the conditions that ...
