What can happen when 2 plates slide against each other?
an earthquake
What are three ways plates can move in relation to one another?
Plates either move towards each other (convergent plates), away from each other (divergent plates) or slide next to each other (transform plates).
Does earthquake occur often when two landforms slide past each other?
No. Earthquakes happen when two plates pull apart.
What are the three types of earth's plates?
The three types of Earth's plates are convergent plates, where two plates move towards each other; divergent plates, where two plates move away from each other; and transform plates, where two plates slide past each other horizontally.
What are three ways tectonic plates interact with each other?
When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
What occurs when plates slide past each other?
When plates slide past each other, it is known as a transform boundary. This movement causes earthquakes along the fault line between the two plates. Friction between the plates can build up over time, eventually releasing in a sudden movement that shakes the Earth's surface.
Do plates slide past each other at convergent boundaries?
At convergent boundaries, plates do not slide past each other. Instead, they move towards each other and collide or subduct under one another. This collision or subduction process is what characterizes convergent plate boundaries.
What is the other name for sliding plate boundary?
Transform Boundaries is the plates where plates slide past each other.
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
What are places where plates slide past each other?
fault lines
Where do earths plates slide past each each other?
In a divergent plate boundary
