What happens when tectonic plates slide past each other?
What occurs when the plates slide each other is a boundary forming. this boundary is called a transform boundary.
These are formed when oceanic plates slide under continental plates?
When oceanic plates slide under continental plates they form subduction zones. Subduction zones always occur at convergent boundaries where one plate slides beneath another plate.
What is a continentality?
A continental slide is the new crust on the earth surface. It happens when two plates below the earth surfaces meets and the boundary became deep trenches.
What happens when two plates pass each other in opposite directions?
Normally when two plates pass each other they create earthquakes and faults. When two plates pass each other the type of boundary the have is called a Transform Boundary.
When 2 plates come in contact with one another what happens?
They can slide past each other, they can collide, or they can pull apart.

What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.

How a earthquake begins?
It happens when two stressed plates slide pass each other
How do transform boundaries form?
a transform boundary is:where 2 plates slide past each other,happens at continental vs. oceanic platesmost famous example: The San Andreas Fault Line
What happens when two plates slide?
there is faulting

When two tectonic plates slide past each other what happens to the crust of these plates?
When the plates slide past each other, it releases a shock wave, either a p-wave or an s-wave, and it spreads out in all directions. Sometimes it causes earthquakes.
What happens when the two plates slide past each other deep inside the Earth's crust?
An earthquake.
What happens at a divergant boundry?
The plates slide across from each other. By that I mean away from each other and they can make earthquakes and mountains!
