What is the plate tectonic boundary type when plates move alongside each other?
Transform Boundary
The difference between a transform and convergent boundary?
Convergent Boundary is a result of two tectonic plates colliding. Divergent boundary is the process where to tectonic plates move away from each other. if two tectonic plates move away from each other (diverge), each will collide with another plate (converge) on the opposite side of the divergent boundary, forming a convergent boundary with another tectonic plate.
What do tectonic plates do at a divergent plate boundary?
At a divergent boundary tectonic plates move apart.
What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
What are the three types of plate tectonic boundries?
divergent (plates move away from each other), convergent --->
How do you use transform boundary in a sentence?
A transform boundary is the place at which two tectonic plates move past each other horizontally is called transform boundary.The San Andreas fault in California is a transform boundary.The most common place to find a transform boundary is the ocean floor.
What is the name of a plate boundary were plates move sideways?
Transform boundary
How is a transform boundary from a convergent boundary?
At a convergent boundary two plates move toward each other. At a transform boundary plates slide past each other.
Why does magma often form at the boundary between separating tectonic plates?
the tectonic plates move and the lava rises
Tectonic plates forming a transform boundary may move only a few centimeters each year can even this small movement affect people and communities living near a transform boundary?
When tectonic plates slide past each other, the movement may cause earthquakes, which might injure people or damage property in a community.
How is transform boundary different from a convergent boundary?
Transform fault where plates slide horizontally past one another without the production or destruction of litosphere, the Divergent produces new sea floor and Convergent two plates collide underneath in creating underground mountains.
What is boundary tension?
Tensional boundary is the meeting zone of two tectonic plates at a normal fault; the plates move apart
