GLY 1010 Lecture Notes - Lecture 32: San Andreas Fault, Oceanic Basin, Seafloor Spreading
Document Summary
Most of the motion along strike-slip fault is lateral. This type of fault occurs where there is extension and the rocks above the fault surface or plane, the hanging wall, move downward, in relation to those beneath the plane, the footwall normal fault. What volcano is this tambora what kind of fault is the san andreas fault strike-slip transform fault. Which ocean basin experiences less seismicity the atlantic. At the time of the tambora eruption what colonial power was in control of the territory. The discovery of these features from the ocean basins was the key to the seafloor spreading hypothesis and unlocking the secret of plate tectonics. The santorini eruption accompanied by all of these. According to the theory of plate tectonics, old oceanic crust is destroyed in deep oceanic trenches. A ______ continental margin is one away that is not near a plate margin passive.
