it causes earthquakes!
The tectonic plates are moving apart from each other. The gap created by plates that are moving away from each other is filled in by new crust, created from the solidification of lava which is derived from the decompression melting of rising mantle rock.

A strike-slip boundary is when two plates move in two opposite directions from each other in a vertical fashion. For example, this line: | and this line | would be touching each other, and moving in opposite directions.Source: Eighth Grade Science

Transform. Transform boundaries are when two plates are moving horizontally past each other, neither destroying or creating crust. Just moving, minding their own business.

When it is two continental plates, new oceanic crust is formed, and when this continues, more oceanic crust is formed between the plates.
They slide past each other horizontally.

seafloor spreading occurs when oceans widen and continents separate.convergent plate movements occurs when two plates collide toward each other.divergent plate movement is the moving away of plates from each other.transform plate movement occurs when two plates are sliding horizontally with each other.:)
