What boundary is it where two plates push together?
An area where two tectonic plates collide is called a boundary. There are three kinds of boundaries. They are convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.
What happens at a transform boundary?
Neither production nor consumption of lithosphere occurs at these boundaries.
What is a mountain chain at a divergent boundaries called?
mountain chains at divergent boundaries are called
What are the small segments of DNA that control protein formation called?
The segments of DNA that code for a functional product (protein) are called genes.
What is the definition of tectonic plate?
The lithosphere is broken up into what are called tectonic plates - in the case of Earth, there are seven major and many minor plates. The lithospheric plates ride on the asthenosphere. These plates move in relation to one another at one of three types of plate boundaries: convergent or collision boundaries, divergent or spreading boundaries, and transform boundaries. Earthquakes, volcanic activity, mountain-building, and oceanic trench formation occur along plate boundaries. The lateral movement of the plates is typically at speeds of 50-100 mm/a.
Transform boundaries that connect short segments of a mid-ocean ridge are called?
Transform faults I believe.
What does plate boundaries mean?
Earth's crust is broken up into segments called tectonic plates, which move very slowly. A plate boundary is where two of these plates meet. There are three basic types: convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
A plate where two plates slip past each other moving in opposite directions is known as a?
transform boundaries
What are plate boundaries that past one another horizontally called?
Transform boundary

What is a transform boundery?
A plate boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions are called transform boundaries.
What type of plate boundary forms where two plates slide past one another?
That is called a boundary or a transform-fault boundary. :D
When large segments of the Earth's crust are deformed along convergent plate boundaries it is called?
It is often called a Trench, such as the Marianna's Trench.
What are Cracks in the earths crust called?
Divergent boundaries, convergent boundaries, and transform boundaries are all cracks in the Earth's crust. They are located where the Earth's plates border one another.
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.
State and compare internetworking device used to connect different LAN segments?
An Internet working device used to connect different LAN segments is called a Modem. A Modem can be either hard wired to the computer or use a Wi-Fi connection to connect to the computer. Dial up Modems were also used that ran through telephone lines.
What boundary is it where two plates push together?
An area where two tectonic plates collide is called a boundary. There are three kinds of boundaries. They are convergent, divergent, and transform boundaries.
