What geologic event is most likely to happen at the given type of plate boundary in number 4?

Answer:

a. earthquake

In question number 4, Plates A and B shows divergent boundary. If plate C is adjacent to both plates and does not show any relative motion, what type of plate boundary is present between A and C ?

Answer: Transform Fault Boundary

In transform fault boundary the geological event happens is Earthquake. Earthquake occurs as two plates slides creating friction between each other.

Earthquake

Slippage along the fault or the plate boundary, releases tremendous amount of energy which causes vibration on the surface of the Earth which is commonly known as Earthquake.

Types of Earthquake

1. Tectonic Earthquake
2. Volcanic Earthquake

Tectonic Earthquake

Tectonic earthquake is the result of the movement of the plate which produces tremendous amount of energy that travels in all direction away from the epicenter causing shaking on the surface.

Volcanic Earthquake

Volcanic Earthquake occurs due to the volcanic activity of erupting volcanoes. Volcanic activity due to the rising of magma on the surface of the earth causes shaking in surrounding areas known as volcanic earthquake.

Types of Seismic waves produce during Earthquake

Body wave

Surface wave

Body waves can travel in the interior of the earth known as primary wave and secondary wave. Primary wave is the fastest to travel and it can travel in both solid and liquid medium. Secondary wave travels slower than primary wave and it can only travel in solid not in liquid. The information provided by body waves gives ideas on what made up the inner layer of the earth.

Surface wave on the other hand is composed of Love wave and Rayleigh wave. Love wave is faster than Rayleigh wave but, it causes majority of the damage on the surface of the earthquake. Love wave moves the ground in a side to side horizontal motion, like that of a snakes causing the ground to twist which is the main reason why it causes more damage compared to the rest of the waves released during earthquake. On the other hand, Rayleigh wave rolls along the ground just like a wave rolls across the ocean.
