An earthquake is caused by a sudden slip on a fault.When the stress on the edge overcomes the friction, there is an earthquake that releases energy in waves that travel through the earth's crust and cause the shaking that we feel. In California there are two plates - the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.

Identify the four types of seismic waves. How do each of these waves behave as they travel through the Earth?

Oksana_A [137]

Compressional or P (for primary) , Transverse or S (for secondary) , Love, and Rayleigh. Primary waves push and pull the ground in the direction the wave is traveling. Secondary waves travel in the same direction, but they shake the ground back and forth perpendicular to the direction the wave is traveling. Love waves move back and forth horizontally. Rayleigh waves cause both vertical and horizontal ground motion.

Answer:

Mid oceanic ridges.

Explanation:

As divergence is defined as constructive plate boundary with opening in between the two slabs of tectonic rock being an heavy and oceanic plate the divergence is found mostly in where the new lava flows are being created and the newer rock are thus located near to the surface of the ridges as a result of the upwelling of hot molten lava from the magma chambers below.

Other examples being the mid-Atlantic ridge, red sea ridge, and eastern pacific rise.

And other popular ridges in the world that have lava flowing from the base and thus demarcate the divergent boundaries with continental crustal movement based on some sentiments form below, as slab push and slab pull.
