It is the "Plates" in California that are moving past each each, The western plate is moving north and the eastern plate is moving south.

What is plates name for collision?
colliding>means like crashing and/or sliding
What can be caused by slipping sliding and colliding of the tectonic plates?
Seismic Activity - Earthquakes or Tremors which in turn can cause can cause oceanic disturbances such as Tsunami's
How are the movement of plates at divergent boundaries and at sliding boundaries similar?
it is different because separating plates move apart gaps between the plates and allow magma, while colliding plates form collision produced from distinct landforms, and they are both the same because they both produce landforms.
What are the five sliding joints?
sliding friction is when you are sliding
Why do earthquakes happen along a fault line?
well.... the san Andres line as you may know will separate California for the reason of i think their called "Plate Techonics" (not really sure of the name) you see thes crash causing earthquakes, and causing that line to break appart and separate California from the American continent, because the line is a failure in both México and U.S.A., so what will happen is that California is separating a bit earthquake by earthquake until it becomes an island just floating in the sea.By the way, I'm 13 and i live in Baja California, so i will be affected by this fenomenon.All that is false.They don't crash they slide past each other. It cause the plates in the San Andres Fault are sliding past each other and that causes the earthquakes
Is the Pacific plate colliding with North American or spreading?
That depends on the section you are looking at. Along much of California the plates are neither colliding nor separating, but sliding past one another. Along the southern coast of Alaska, they are colliding.
How do the plates in earths crust move?
The plates float on top of a liquid rock just below the earth's crust. :) $m!/ey G!r/

What are the three boundaries?
Convergent, Divergent, and Transform also known as Spreading, Colliding, and Sliding
What are underground plates called?
sliding,seperating,and colliding plates and tectonic plate . Tectonic plates are the one which cause earthquakes
What are the types of faults?
the three types of faults are normal (colliding), reverse (moving apart), strike-slip (sliding past each other)

What are the three types of boundaries?
Three types of plate boundaries are spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. um actually they are divergent, convergent, and transform

How are the movement of plates and at divergent boundaries and sliding boundary similar?
There are three kinds of plate boundaries:spreading boundaries, colliding boundaries, and sliding boundaries. The platea move at amazing show rates, from about 1 to 24 centimeters per year. Thet have been moving for tens of millions of years.
