Earthquakesare the result of the release of extreme pressure between plates. Their impact can be felt locally, regionally and globally, depending on their magnitude. In this part of the lesson, you will add recent earthquake data to your map and look for areas of high concentration, and for ...
1 have their maximum velocities at the surface. In addition, the case with the most developed transform offsets (the cyan curve) has the least vertical shear throughout the top layer corresponding to the plates. However, vertical shear of the horizontal velocities is prominent below the plates....
