What else can I help you with?
What is the name of a plate boundary were plates move sideways?
A transform plate boundary is where plates move sideways past each other. This movement typically creates strike-slip faults.
Force involved when plates move past each other sideways?
the answer is tension
Is the force that causes plates to move sideways past each other.?
Tension is the force that causes plates to move sideways past each other. This can cause built up stress that releases suddenly and causes earthquakes.
What direction plates tectonic move in?
The earth's plates move in all directions: up, down, and sideways. That's why we have mountains and subsidances and earthquakes and volcanoes and all sorts of stuff!
What do plates do when an earthquake happens?
They move
What happens when tectonic plates suddenly move?
An Earthquake happens.
What is the force that causes plates to move sideways?
The force that causes plates to move sideways is known as shear stress. This stress occurs when plates slide horizontally past each other along a transform fault boundary as a result of the movement of the underlying mantle material.
Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
What happens in a continental plate?
the plates move apart
What happens in asthenosphere?
It's where the plates of the lithosphere move around on, the plastic like layer of the asthenosphere. the plates move around on these
What is the force that causes plates to move sideways past each other?
The force that causes plates to move sideways past each other is known as shear stress. This results from the differential motion of tectonic plates at plate boundaries, where frictional resistance and built-up energy create lateral movement along faults. The release of this stress through earthquakes is common at transform boundaries like the San Andreas Fault in California.
How do the rocks in a strike-slip fault move?
It's a earthquake where two plates move sideways from eachother for example the San Andreas Fault is a strike-slip earthquake.
