Mostly in the oceanic plate,or location which can cause the oceanic plate to crack,as the formation of a tsunami is caused by the displacement of a rock undersea,leading to violent waves that hit the shore as tsunami.

EXPLAIN why most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of different tectonic plates

olga nikolaevna [1]

Answer:

Explained as below

Explanation:

The three types of pf plate boundaries are spreading zones, transform faults and subduction zones. Most earthquakes occur along the boundaries of plate tectonics due to the effects of the earth's mantle layer that acts as a recycling agent and recycles 99% of the earth's surface layers from above.

Various tectonic forces and process act son these slabs and rocks from above and hence through the activities of erosion and denudation of the rocky masses these plates collide with each other as the earth is it's self not static its dynamic and moves continuously on a regular basis and hence changes take place on the surface of earth.

Thus it can be seen that the earthquakes and volcanic events occur at the plate boundaries and hence produce or are responsible for the various activities.

A clay that loses nearly all of its shear strength after being disturbed is called a(n)?

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

A clay that loses nearly all of its shear strength after being disturbed is called a(n) sensitive clay.

Clay is a material similar to natural earth but fine grain. The meaning of the word clay is "sticky". The slip is a clay in liquid suspension used as a binding agent, as enamel for stoneware and electrical insulators or slip sheets are used in decoration.Clays may be described as sensitive when the undisturbed strength is greater than the disturbed (remoulded) strength, where the remoulded material can behave as a fluid.

Sensitivity is defined as the ratio of the undisturbed shear strength and the disturbed shear strength.Clay soil has a thick and swooping composition. Blackland prairies have a unique characteristic of black and heavy clay soils because of the marine chalks, limestones, and shale that are found in its composition. When soils reach major rivers and tributaries its compositions changes into a more sandy soil
