When two touching plates are moving in opposite directions, this is a Transform Boundary.
When two plates are dividing, this is a Divergent Boundary.
When two plates are moving towards each other and colliding, this is a Convergent.
***Here's a little Science Cheer to help you remember**
When I say Converge, you say....COLLIDE
When I say Diverge, you say.....DIVIDE
When I say Transform, you say.... SLIDE

The places between plates moving together are called?
The places between plates moving together are called convergent boundaries. These boundaries are characterized by plates colliding and often resulting in tectonic activity such as earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.
What are the places between plates moving together called?
The places between plates moving together are called convergent boundaries. At convergent boundaries, tectonic plates collide, leading to subduction zones where one plate is forced beneath another. This process can result in the formation of mountain ranges, volcanic arcs, and deep ocean trenches.
What occurs on faults?
The tectonic plates underneath the earths crust are moving, and these plates crash into, and slide against each other. These places where the plates meet are called fault lines. Since the plates are constantly moving, there is a lot of pressure between the plates, and eventually, it needs to be released in the form of an earthquake.
What is the boundary between two moving plates called?
h
What is a boundary between plates that are moving away from each oher?
A boundary where the plates are moving apart is called a divergent boundary. It is also called a constructive boundary because new crust is made there.
The places between plates that are passing each other sideways are called what?
Faults.
What is the name of the places were the tectonic plates meet?
The places where tectonic plates meet are called plate boundaries. There are three main types of plate boundaries: convergent boundaries (plates moving towards each other), divergent boundaries (plates moving away from each other), and transform boundaries (plates sliding past each other).
What boundary between two plates that are moving away from each other called?
divergent plate
What is the fault between two plates moving sideways past each other called?
The fault between two plates moving sideways past each other is called a transform fault. This type of fault occurs at transform boundaries where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other.
Why are places at risk to earthquakes?
because earth's plates are moving around.
Where two plates meet , this is called a?
Places, where plates meet, are called plate boundaries. There are seven significant plates along with countless minor plates. You can see that a plate can be made of both oceanic crust and continental crust. Interactions between the plates change our planet.
What is the process of heavier plates moving under lighter plates called?
Subduction!
