What else can I help you with?
What is the place where two tectonic plates move away from each other horizontially?
This is known as a divergent boundary. At these boundaries, the plates move apart from each other, often creating rift valleys or mid-ocean ridges as magma rises up to form new crust. An example of a divergent boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge.
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 two tectonic plates push into each other the place the two plates meet is what?
They are called a Plate Boundaries :)
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
How earthquake take place?
An earthquake takes place, because there are tectonic plates which sometimes crash into each other, some places are more affected then others because some places are closer to the tectonic plates then others.
What is the name of the place where the tectonic plates meet?
The place where tectonic plates meet is called a plate boundary. These boundaries can be categorized as convergent, divergent, or transform, depending on how the plates are interacting with each other.
What are transforms boundaries?
A place where two plates slip past each other, moving in opposite directions
Most of the geological activity at the surface of earth takes place at boundaries between?
Most of the geological activity at the Earth's surface takes place at boundaries between tectonic plates. These boundaries can be convergent (where plates collide), divergent (where plates move apart), or transform (where plates slide past each other).
What is a subducation zone?
A subduction zone is a place that occurs between two tectonic plates. It is the site where these tectonic plates have collided.
What is the Theory earth divided into moving plates?
The place where tectonic plates touch
Where does transform plate boundary activity take place on Earth?
Transform plate boundary activity takes place along areas where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. One well-known example is the San Andreas Fault in California, where the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate are moving horizontally in opposite directions.
The place where tectonic plates touch is known as the what?
The place where tectonic plates touch is known as a plate boundary. These boundaries can be divergent (moving apart), convergent (coming together), or transform (sliding past each other). Interactions at these boundaries often result in earthquakes, volcanic activity, and the formation of mountain ranges.
