What is the place where two tectonic plates slide past each other other horizontally?
That is a Strike-slip fault. This type of plate boundary is a relatively conservative boundary because the plates moves side by side horizontally causing little or no destruction of old plates or creation of new plates, but only causes a kind of boundary known as a Transform Boundary. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas fault, in California, USA North America.
When continental plates moves toward each other what kind of plate boundary is that called?
the boundary is called a convergent boundary
What kind of plate boundary lies between two plates that are moving away from each other?
Divergent or constructive
What kind of plate boundary does subduction take place at?
A convergent plate boundary. a piece of continental crust and a piece of oceanic crust meeting at a convergent boundary.
What kind of boundary is formed by the direct collision of two lithospheric plates?
convergent
What kind of fault is it when plates slide past each other?
It is a transform boundary.
What kind of boundary is found where two plates move away from each other?
techtonic plates

What kind of boundary do tectonic plates move together?
A convergent boundary is where plates move together.
What kind of boundry occurs wherever two plates move toward each other?
Continental boundary.
What kind of fault is probably most common in the northern San Andreas fault system and why?
The san Andreas fault is a transform boundary between two plates. The resultant fault of a transform boundary is a strike-slip fault. The North American plate and the Pacific plate are both moving vertically in different directions.

Divergent or constructive

A convergent plate boundary. a piece of continental crust and a piece of oceanic crust meeting at a convergent boundary.
What kind of boundry forms when two plates collide?
A Convergence Boundary.
What kind of boundary is located at the mid ocean ridge?
The mid-ocean ridge is formed along a divergent or constructive plate boundary between two plates of oceanic crust.
What kind of plate boundary is found where the American and Caribbean plates meet?
The answer is idk
