the uneven heat distribution between the plate tectonics
The Pacific oceanic plate slipped under the Asian continental plate, resulting in an effect called subduction.
It is a THRUST fault The San Andreas Fault
tsunami
strike slip
transform boundary
Tectonic shear stress.
A normal fault caused the 1556 Shaanxi earthquake.
normal fault and reverse fault.
On February 4th, 1965, a reverse fault caused the Rat Islands Earthquake, Alaska, at 5:01 A.M.
The Great Kanto earthquake was a oceanic to continental
a reverse fault, a fault in which the faults push together. rocks above the fault move up. ex. the Himalayas
the fault that is assicuated with the 1964 earthquake in Alaska is a reverse fault
In all likelihood it was a thrust fault, as most seismicity in New England is associated with thrust faulting.
—Strike-Slip Fault =>the two plates slide past one another in opposite directions
It is a THRUST fault The San Andreas Fault
tsunami
On a fault line. For example, California is on the San Andreas fault, and as such is very earthquake prone.
Compressive stress which led to thrust faulting at a convergent boundary where subduction is occurring. Please see the related question for more information.
