a transform boundary

∙ 14y agoWhen a Oceanic Plate (Oceanic Lithosphere) slides into a Continental plate (Continental Lithosphere) the resulting action is called Subduction. The heavier more Mafic (consisting of very basaltic rock) is shoved under the lighter Felsic (mostly silicates) continent creating earthquakes and volcanoes.

∙ 14y agoIn plate tectonic boundaries were two plates slides past eachother, there's apparently little damage done most times, unlike the other plates boundary types. So such boundaries are called the Conservative Boundaries. Its also known as the Strike-slip Zone, due to the side by side movement of plates in such boundaries.

∙ 13y agoWhen two plates slide past each other, this is called a transform fault. Earthquakes can occur when the plates scrape by. If the earthquake happens underwater, a tsunami may occur. (Like in Japan)

What are the techtonic plates that slide past each other called?
Where 2 plates slide past each other in a horizontal motion that boundary is called a Transform Boundary, or a fault.
Name the plate boundary where two plates slide past each other?
Transform fault.
Kind of boundary when two plates slide past each other?
Transform fault or sliding boundary
What is the difference between earthquauke and fault?
A fault is the zone where two tectonic plates meet. An earthquake is vibration through the earth caused when the two plates on a fault line slide past each other.
What occurs at a transform boundary?
The plates slide past each other. It can cause earthquakes.
What are places where plates slide past each other?
fault lines
What kind of fault is it when plates slide past each other?
It is a transform boundary.
What are the techtonic plates that slide past each other called?
Where 2 plates slide past each other in a horizontal motion that boundary is called a Transform Boundary, or a fault.
The place where 2 tectonics plates slide past each other?
slip fault?
What is a fracture boundary?
Transform fault/boundary. Its when two plates slide past each other.
What is fracture boundaries?
Transform fault/boundary. Its when two plates slide past each other.
Name the plate boundary where two plates slide past each other?
Transform fault.
Kind of boundary when two plates slide past each other?
Transform fault or sliding boundary
What type of fault is most common in the san Andreas fault system?
The transform boundary, where two plates slide past each other.
What is the difference between earthquauke and fault?
A fault is the zone where two tectonic plates meet. An earthquake is vibration through the earth caused when the two plates on a fault line slide past each other.
What occurs when plates slide past each other?
When plates slide past each other, it is known as a transform boundary. This movement causes earthquakes along the fault line between the two plates. Friction between the plates can build up over time, eventually releasing in a sudden movement that shakes the Earth's surface.
What type of fault where each plate slides past each other?
When two plates slide past each other, this is called a transform fault. Earthquakes can occur when the plates scrape by. If the earthquake happens underwater, a tsunami may occur. (Like in Japan)
