The spreading centers are similar (but not the same thing transtension along a strike-slip fault such as the San Andreas Fault. Why do you think there are no features similar to areas of transpression Along a mid ocean ridge there are spreading along the mid ocean ridges? o a. There actually are o b. There aren't areas of compression or transpression because it is a spreading center caused by tension across the whole region 0 because you can't have both areas of transpression and areas of transtension along the same fault system o d. because the allens didn't build it that way > Moving to another question will save this response. & Question 2 of 10 Peer assessment ....docx

Explanation / Answer

Ans.

2.There are not area of compression or compression because it's spreading center caused by tension across the region.

Explanation - Mid-oceanic ridges, here two plates diverge from one another. As the plates are pulled apart, hot asthenosphere rises upward to fill voids of the extended lithosphere.Forming new oceanic crust.

4. Being a line in regular series with parralell part.

Explanation - In fault it is relatively short fault which overlap each other.The term 'en echelon' refers to closely-spaced, parallel or subparallel, overlapping or step-like minor structural features in rock (faults, tension fractures), which lie oblique to the overall structural trend.

6.Transtension.

Explanation - Transtension is the state in which a rock mass or area of the Earth's crust experiences, both extensive and transtensive shear.And it's experienced releasing bend.

8.Subduction.

Explanation - Subduction is a geological process that takes place at convergent boundaries of tectonic plates where one plate moves under another and is forced or sinks due to gravity into the mantle.
