Q:

PLS DON’T DO ASSIGNMENT IF YOU ARE GOING TO COPY AND PASTE!!!!!
1. What kind of fault is the San Andreas Fault? How does this type of fault move and how does this movement relate to earthquakes (and the elastic rebound theory)?
2. The tectonic cycle is a cycle in which crust is both created and destroyed. Where does crust get created and how does this occur? Where does crust get destroyed and how does this occur?
3. Explain the three types of tectonic plate boundaries. In your explanation you must include 1) the type of boundary, 2) what is occurring at this boundary, 3) the type of features/events that are common with this boundary, and 4) an explanation of where this type of boundary exists (on this one, make sure you explain what has happened at this specific location).

5. What is the difference between an explosive eruption and an effusive eruption? Make sure you include the 1) viscosity of the magma and how this affects the eruption, 2) the characteristics of these eruptions in terms of pyroclastics, lava flow, etc, 3) the type of volcanoes that are formed by these two eruptions, and 4) an example of a place where each eruption has occured.
