I'm learning about this at school too! When two plates slide right past each other in either direction is called Shearing.

What occurs when the earths plates grind past each other and form a fault?
the shaking of the earthquake
Are the pacific plates and the antarctic plates moving towards each other or away from each other or past each other?
the plates are moving away from each other.
What happens when two continental plates slide past each other?
Transform faults are caused by plates sliding past each other.
Do plates slide past each other at convergent boundaries?
No. Plates come together at convergent boundaries. In other words they converge. Plates slide past each other at transform boundaries.
What rocks are found at transform boundaries?
At transform boundaries, two plates grind past each other with no loss of material from the lithosphere. Rocks found at these boundaries are peridotite and gabbro.
Where can a earthquake come from?
tetoic plates grind the grind a slip past each other
What often occurs when theses plates collide or grind past each other?
Earthquakes are caused when this happens.
What occurs when the earths plates grind past each other and form a fault?
the shaking of the earthquake
Why do earthquakes happen in certain states?
Because transform plates grind past each other more often
What are the three types of plate tectonic boundries?
divergent (plates move away from each other), convergent --->
When plates slide or grind past one each one another?
Earthquakes happend
What kind of plate occurs where two plates grind past each other without destroying or producing lithosphere?
transform fault boundary
A transform fault boundary occurs where two plates what?
Transform fault boundaries happen at the site where two tectonic plates move past each other in opposite directions. The two plates will grind past each other, breaking off pieces of crust from the plates. The plates can get caught on each other and pressure will build up until a break develops and the plates will lurch forward.
Are the pacific plates and the antarctic plates moving towards each other or away from each other or past each other?
the plates are moving away from each other.
What occurs when plates slide past each other?
A transform boundary is made when tectonic plates slide past each other.
What are facts about transform boundaries?
