As indicated by the arrows, how do the two plates move relative to each other? do they move towards each other or away from each other or sliding past each other?

Sagot :

Answer:

Strike-slip Fault Movement

Based on the photo, the arrows are showing us that the plates are sliding against each other. This is what we call a transform fault or a strike-slip fault. If the convergence of two plates could lead to destructive earthquakes, and the divergence of two plates could lead to the formation of new sea floor, the two plates sliding past each other would produce earthquakes.

Explanation:

There are two types of strike-slip faults that usually happen in transform fault boundaries:

  • Sinistral strike-slip fault
  • Dextral strike-slip fault

In the Philippines, there are a lot of strike-slip faults all over the archipelago. Overseas, the most popular strike-slip fault is the San Andreas fault.
