convergent plates produce thrust faults
divergent plates form normal faults
transform plates form strike/slip faults
Describe the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristic of each type of motion.
One of the three types of plates are the transform plates slip past each other. The convergent plates push together. The divergent plates pull away from each other.
The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse (or thrust) faults, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults occur when the crust is extended, causing one block of rock to move downward relative to another. Reverse faults happen when the crust is compressed, pushing one block up over another. Strike-slip faults involve horizontal movement, where two blocks slide past each other laterally.
No, a triangle is defined by its three sides and/or its angels. The diameter is a characteristic of a circle.
Any geometric shape that has more than three sides.

a. Transform:transform boundaries or motion creates strike-slip faults.b. Convergent:convergent boundaries or motion creates reverse faults.c. Divergent:divergent motion creates a normal fault.
The three types of faults are normal, reverse, and strike-slip faults. Normal faults are associated with divergent plate boundaries, reverse faults with convergent plate boundaries, and strike-slip faults with transform plate boundaries.
One of the three types of plates are the transform plates slip past each other. The convergent plates push together. The divergent plates pull away from each other.
Any and all plate motion causes earthquakes.
Intraplate earthquakes occur within a tectonic plate far from its boundary, typically associated with ancient faults or localized stress. Interplate earthquakes happen at plate boundaries where one plate subducts beneath another, resulting in powerful and destructive seismic activity. Transform fault earthquakes occur along strike-slip faults where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, producing significant but more localized shaking.
The three types of faults are Normal faults, Reverse faults, and Strike and Slip fault
No. Your terminology is close but not quite right. The three main types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Strike-slip faults may also be called transform faults.
The three major types of faults are normal faults, reverse faults, and strike-slip faults. Synclines are not faults but rather geological structures that describe the folding of rock layers.
Trasform(plates sliding past each other.) Converging(plates colliding.) Divergent(plates moving away.) These are 3 different types of plate boundries
Faults are surfaces along the earths crust in which rocks have been fractured and displaced. There are three types of faults: strike-slip, normal and reverse.
