SUBPLATE What in general do conservative plate do
Conservative plates slide past eachother without either forming or destroying plate material
Why does this happen
These process occur indirectly because of ascending and descending convection currents at both constructive and destructive boundaries where spreading ridges and subduction zones occur
What are conservative margins
Fault lines that help to allow for uneven sea floor spreading
What are fault lines a result of
Results of the very complex way plate move
How are constructive margins linked to constructive margins
Conservative margins bisect constructive margins and are formed to avoid the margin twisting into an S shape, so instead the rock will fracture perpendicular to the margin
PLATE is there volcanic activity at this margin
No
Why is there no volcanic activity at this margin
There is no creation or destruction of plate material
How can conservative margins move
They can move in opposite directions or the same direction but at different speeds
Where do the most common conservative margins run
Under the sea and run at angles across constructive margins
What happens as the plates slide past eachother
The movement is not smooth and therefore the rocks are placed under great stress
What builds up
Friction
What happens with friction building up
Eventually the TENSIONAL PRESSURE is released in a sudden movement along the fault line causing an earthquake
What is the ,ovation in which the earthquake occurs
The focus
What radiates out from the focus
Seismic waves
