What happens when plates scrape and slide past each other?

What happens when plates on Earth's crust scrape past each other?
earthquakes happen
What type of stress occurs when lithospheric plates scrape past each other?
Shear stress.
How do earthquakes occur on planet earth?
the tectonic plates of the earth move and scrape against each other
What is a transformed fault?
a transform boundary is when two plates scrape past each other with an effect of a earthquake
A rift valley forms where two plates do what?
collide into each other
Are earthquakes caused by plates sliding past each other?
Yes, earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When two plates slide past each other, get stuck, and then suddenly release, it generates seismic waves that we feel as earthquakes.
What type of fault where each plate slides past each other?
When two plates slide past each other, this is called a transform fault. Earthquakes can occur when the plates scrape by. If the earthquake happens underwater, a tsunami may occur. (Like in Japan)
How a fault mountains forms?
when 2 plates move away from each other
Do all the tectonic plates move in the same direction?
No, tectonic plates move in different directions. Some plates move towards each other (convergent boundaries), some move away from each other (divergent boundaries), and others slide past each other horizontally (transform boundaries).
What occur when plates move?
When plate tectonics move they can either collide into each other, causing mountains, volcanoes and earthquakes, move away from each other, or scrape past each other, this creates a fault. Often times the moving of earths plates results in an earthquake of some sort.
