Divergent and transform D. Only at convergent boundaries 相关知识点: 试题来源: 解析 B。解析:地震最有可能发生在板块汇聚和转换边界。在汇聚边界,板块的强烈碰撞挤压容易引发地震。在转换边界,板块相互错动摩擦也会引发地震。离散边界虽然也有地质活动但地震相对少些,不是只有汇聚边界会发生地震,所以答案是B。

Earthquakes at convergent plate boundaries mark the motions of subducting lithosphere as it plunges through the mantle, creatingreverseandthrust faults. Convergent plate boundaries produce earthquakes all around the Pacific Ocean basin. The Philippine Plate and the Pacific Plate subduct beneath Japan, cre...
The distribution of permanent deformation near strike-slip plate boundaries and the underlying controlling variables are commonly poorly understood. Here we examine the crustal deformation across the northern Dead Sea fault system based ... R Granot,N Dembo,Y Hamiel - 《Geology》 被引量: 0发表:...
most earthquakes occur on faults near plate boundaries because of proximity to tectonic stress (but many other earthquakes may occur on faults far away from plate boundaries) - tectonic motion causes stress on rocks, not only near plate boundaries but far into the interior of the plate as well...
at some boundaries where two plates meet, neither plate is in a position to sub-duct under the other, so they both push against each other to form mountains. the lines where plates push toward each other are called convergent plate boundaries. plates slide against each other. at other ...
Interplate earthquakes occur along the three types of plate boundaries: (1) mid-ocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults. Mid-ocean spreading ridges are places in the deep ocean basins where the plates move apart. As the plates separate, hot lava from Earth'...
How do convergent boundaries affect the earth? Convergent plate boundaries form wherelithospheric plates collide along their boundaries with each other. Such collisions cause extensive deformation at the Earth's crust, leading to the formation of volcanoes, the lifting of mountain ranges and the creatio...
The tragic downside is that waves of quakes and volcanic eruptions along plate boundaries can devastate human populations. "It’s hard to find something uplifting about 150,000 lives being lost," said Dr. Donald J. DePaolo, a biologist at the University of California, Berkeley. "But the ...
Why do earthquakes and volcanoes occur at plate boundaries? A.Plate boundaries undergo much tension and friction. B.Temperatures fluctuate greatly at plate boundaries. C.Earthquakes and volcanoes cause new plates to form. D.The causes of earthquakes and volcanoes are unknown....
