What happens when plates suddenly lurch against each other?
it causes an earthquake(:
What happens when 2 plates rub against each other?
When two tectonic plates rub against each other, they can create friction and pressure that eventually causes the plates to stick. As the pressure builds up, the plates can suddenly release energy in the form of an earthquake. This movement of the plates can also lead to the formation of mountain ranges or the release of volcanic activity.
What would happen if two plates rubbed back and forth against each other?
If two tectonic plates rub back and forth against each other, they can create friction that builds up stress. This stress can eventually be released in the form of an earthquake when the plates suddenly slip past one another. The movement can also lead to the formation of mountain ranges or ocean trenches.
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 happens when two plates pull away from each other in opposite directions?
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
What happens when two tectonic plates oush against each other?
it would brake

What would happen if two tectonic plates rubbed back and forth against each other?
an earthquake happens
What happens when an earthquake is occurring?
Earthquakes are caused by things deep in the ground called plates. When plates shift and collide or rub against each other, that is when an earthquake is felt.
Why did the eartquake in japan happen?
The same reason any earthquake happens, tectonic plates shifted against each other.
What happens when 2 plates rub against each other?
When two tectonic plates rub against each other, they can create friction and pressure that eventually causes the plates to stick. As the pressure builds up, the plates can suddenly release energy in the form of an earthquake. This movement of the plates can also lead to the formation of mountain ranges or the release of volcanic activity.
Is an earthquake caused by water penetrating Earth's surface?
No. An earthquake happens when the earth's tectonic plates rub against each other.
What happens two plates carrying continental crust collide?
These are convergent plates- and if the pressure continues it causes mountain building. The Indian and Eurasian plates collided millions of yrs ago and are STILL pressing against each other. They created the Himalayas which are still growing! There are three tyoes of boundaries around plates: convergent (pressing against each other); divergent- moving away;. and transform- sliding past each other.
What is a contiental boundary?
when the plates get against each other
What happens when tectonic plates push against?
It could either cause Spreading boundaries (when the plates move apart), collision boundaries (Where one plate collides with the other forcing one underground- can cause volcano's, or transform boundaries (When plates scrape along side each other- causing Earthquakes.
What happens when earths crust doesn't move?
presure starts to build. when that pressure is released, it causes an earthquake. This only happens on a transform boundry beetween two plates, which is where they slide 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.
