What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
What can happen when 2 plates slide against each other?
an earthquake
What is a active zone?
It where to plates rub past each other; push against each other; or move away from each other.
Where the slipping of plates occor?
In plate tectonics, a divergent boundary or divergent plate boundary(also known as a constructive boundaryor an extensional boundary) is a linear feature that exists between two tectonic plates that are moving away from each other.
What is the difference between convergent and divergent and transform boundaries?
Divergent boundaries- Plates move apart from each other Convergent boundaries- Plates compress against each other Transform boundaries- Plates move past each other
What is a force that builds up mountains and land masses?
Mountains are formed by earth plates rubbing against each other with so much pressure that it pushes the plates up which form mountains and also volcano.
Why do tectonic plates move against each other?
tectonic plates move against each other essentially because of the movement of molten rock underneath the earth's surface or crust. This movement causes the plates to rub against each other.
What is released when earthquakes happens?
Energy, tension and pressure. Two tectonic plates tries to slide against each other but gets caught. Pressure builds up until something breaks and the plates are released with a shock.
What happens when the lithospheric plates rub past each other?
pressure builds uo and then releases
What is a contiental boundary?
when the plates get against each other
What forms when lithospheric plates rub past each other?
pressure builds up, and then it is suddenly released.
What are the three main plate boundries?
Divergent, convergent, and transform. transform boundary is when plates slide against each other. Convergent is when plates collide and push against each other, and divergent is when plates pull apart.
What happens when plates slip past each other at transform boundaries?
When plates rub against each other in any direction, it causes an earthquake.
Why is Bangladesh a good place for earthquakes?
It is on a fault line and the plates rub against each other on that line and when they get stuck pressure builds up. When they get unstuck they cause a massive release of pressure. This causes earthquakes.
When two plates rub against each what might the results be?
When two plates rub against each other, the resulting can be an earthquake. It can cause mass destruction on earth.
What Are Plates Sliding Against Each Other Called?
I think you're referring to tectonic plates, there are 3 ways one is convergent boundary, divergent, and transform. Plates that slide against each other are called transform boundary's. And your welcome
