A conservative plate margin occurs when two plates move parallel to one another. Normally, one plate will be moving in the opposite direction to the other plate and this will very often cause a build up of friction. When one of these large build ups of friction is finally over come, the energy is released into the plate causing it to shudder.

What does conservative plate margin mean?
Naval architecture : Margin plate are those plate which form the outer edge of the double bottom and must be water tight. In welded type ship it has sometimes flanged, but it has become common practice to extend the inner bottom plating and to attach it to the top of tank side bracket.
Which best explains the absence of volcanoes and earthquakes at a passive continental margin?
A passive continental margin lacks tectonic activity because it is not located near a plate boundary where volcanic and seismic activity typically occurs. Instead, passive margins form as plates pull apart, leading to subsidence and sediment accumulation rather than volcanic eruptions or earthquakes.
What types of plate boundaries have subduction zone?
Convergent boundaries can form between two oceanic plates, between one oceanic plate and one continental plate, or between two continental plates.
Why do the Greater Antilles experience earthquakes?
The Greater Antilles are located near a transform plate boundary between the North American Plate and the Caribbean Plate. These plates are silding past one another. In the area where these plates meet, stress builds up, which is released in the form of earthquakes.
Which part happens at a convergent plate boundary?
Mountains form, volcanoes can form/erupt, earthquakes can occur. That's all I know sorry.

Which type of plate margins commonly form valcanoes?
tectonic plates
What does a transformational plate boundary form?
A transformational plate boundary forms earthquakes.
What does mountains and earthquakes have alike?
they both form or happen from plate tectionic
What does transform plates form?
A transformational plate boundary forms earthquakes.
Do earthquakes cause plate boundary's to form volcanoes?
yes of course
Which plates slipped past each other to form the earthquakes in japan?
The Asian plate and the Pacific plate.
How is similar divergent plate boundary and transform plate boundary?
They are similar because they both form volcanoes and earthquakes.
What are three major movements on the earth's crustal plates and what occurs as a result of these movements?
There are three major plate movements, whether these occur on the continents or under the sea, convergent, where two plates collide together and one sinks under the other, although sometimes with continental plates if two continental plates collide then they are both very dense so they both press up against each other and form mountains, there are conservative plate margins, where the plates slip past each other, catching against each other causing earthquakes, and finally there are divergent plate margins where the plates are moving away from each other, these cause upsurges of magma in between and new land/sea bed is formed, these types of plate margins usually only occur under the sea, this is how Iceland was formed, but not the Hawaiian islands
What does transform plates boundary form?
A transformational plate boundary forms earthquakes.
What forms at a transform boundary?
Earthquakes form at a Transform boundary when the plate slips past each other.
Where is a earthquakes?
Earthquakes usually occur around faultlines or plate boundaries because that's where plates split apart a long time ago. When two plates collide they form earthquakes.
