Why are volcanoes not found at transform boundaries?

Geography

The transform fault boundaries are not having the same characteristics as the convergent or divergent plate boundaries. The movement at the convergent and divergent plate boundaries is caused by pressure from below, thus vertical one, and also when they collide one of them moves diagonally downwards, or rather subducts. That leaves gaps at the plate boundaries and big cracks through which the magma can penetrate. At the transform boundaries it is a different situation. The plates engaged in this type of boundary are neither moving away from each other, nor they are colliding, but instead they slide past each other. By sliding past each other, the plates actually close in any gap that might have enables for magma to come out on the surface, so we don't see volcanoes along this type of boundaries. What is typical about the transform plate boundaries is the formation of faults that form because of the stress, and are parallel to the boundary.

1. _______ has a rotational axis that is tilted so much it lies nearly in the plane of its orbit.
fenix001 [56]

Answer:

1) uranus

2) venus

3) mercury

4) mars

5) jupiter

6) it doesn't say which planet, but that's only true for earth

7) neptune

8) saturn

Explanation:

uranus axis is tilted more than 90° from the solar sistem plane, it's unknow why this is, but a collission is suspected

even though mercury is closer to the sun venus is hotter in average beacause mercury lacks an atmosphere to retain the heat

mars moons are called phobos an deimos, the only other rocky planet to have a moon is earth since pluto is no longer considered a planet

saturn's density is so low that it would theoretically float if thrown in a pool of water of the appropiate size

Which of the following is most likely to form when tectonic plates move away from each other?
FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

If two plates move away from each other then a continental rift will form.

Explanation:

There are three basic types of plate boundaries, convergent, divergent, and transform plate boundaries. All of them have their own characteristics and the boundaries can be between oceanic and oceanic, oceanic and continental, and continental and continental plates, and each type creates different landforms.

If there are two plates moving each other over land, then a continental rift will form. Basically, the two plates slowly move away from each other, opening a gap that is constantly widening, so over time, it grows into a rift valley. Over the course of millions of years, the continental rift or rift valley will get filled by oceanic water and physically separate the two landmasses. A perfect example of this is the divergent plate boundary between the Nubian and Somali plates which have created the rift valley cutting through the eastern part of Africa.
