Transform boundarys are also called strike-slip faults. The only transform boundry is in California.

A place where plates slide past one another is what?

Types of plate boundries?

The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent, and transform. Divergent boundaries occur where plates move apart, creating new crust. Convergent boundaries occur where plates collide and can result in subduction zones or mountain formation. Transform boundaries occur where plates slide past each other horizontally.


What is a boundry that two plates slide past each other?

a transform boundary


What type of boundry is a transform boundry?

A transform boundary is a type of plate boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can result in earthquakes and the creation of features like strike-slip faults. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.


What is it called when two plates side by side?

transform boundry as in the san Andreas fault


What boundry do plates move apart at?

Divergent boundary


What are the features of a transform boundry?

Transform boundaries are characterized by the sliding of two lithospheric plates past each other horizontally. They are associated with earthquakes due to the friction between the plates as they move. Transform boundaries neither create nor destroy the Earth's lithosphere, but instead allow for lateral movement.


How do transform and transform boundry relate?

A transform boundary forms where plates slide past each other horizontally. Most transform boundaries are found near Mid-ocean ridges.


How do tectonic plates move at a transform boundary?

At transform boundaries, the plates move horizontal in relation to each other.


What is the point where the tectonic plates move causing an earthquake?

earthquake zone or in the boundry of tectonic plates


What happens when earths crust doesn't move?

presure starts to build. when that pressure is released, it causes an earthquake. This only happens on a transform boundry beetween two plates, which is where they slide against each other.


What type of plate boundary are most tsunamis associated with?

Transform boundry, or what's known as shearing. It causes the plates to move past each other causing earthquakes in any areas.
