How would you describe the Motion of plates in a convergent boundary?
Moving together
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.
Why is it important to know what type of plates are interacting at plate boundaries?
Where plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform.
What is the active boundary between plates?
the active boundary between plates is a ?
What active boundary between the plates?
the active boundary between plates is a ?

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.
When two boundary goes the opposite directions is called and what is the motion at boundary?
When two boundaries move in opposite directions, it is called a transform boundary. The motion at this boundary is typically horizontal sliding or shearing, where the two plates slide past each other. This movement can result in earthquakes along the boundary.
What type of motion occurred between the two plates?
A convergent boundary can form between two plates and a divergent boundary can be created between two plates, then two plates rubbing together create earthquakes, many are very minor. A convergent boundary is two plates pushing together to form a mountain, hill, or volcano. Divergent plates move apart and create canyons and stuff.

What is it called when two plates move towards each other When they move together What is the motion called?
Two plates coming together is known as a convergent boundary.
What is the active boundary between plates?
the active boundary between plates is a ?
What active boundary between the plates?
the active boundary between plates is a ?
What is transformed fault boundary?
A transform boundary, or conservative plate boundary, is a type of fault at the margin of two adjacent tectonic plates were the relative motion is horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction between the two.
Describe the three types of plate motion and the faults that are characteristics of each motion?
One of the three types of plates are the transform plates slip past each other. The convergent plates push together. The divergent plates pull away from each other.
