they collide and create earthquake
What else can I help you with?
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 are three ways tectonic plates interact with each other?
When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.
How do the plates move to form volcanoes?
The tectonic plates move divergent when they move away from each other, convergent when they are colliding with each other, and trasform when they slide past each other.
What are three ways plates can move in relation to one another?
Plates either move towards each other (convergent plates), away from each other (divergent plates) or slide next to each other (transform plates).
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
What happens when plates separate from each other?
Ridges, called spreading centers, happen where two plates move away from each other. As the plates separate, molten mantle material (magma/melted rock) flows up to fill the void.
What happens when two earth plates move alongside each other?
When two Earth plates move alongside each other, they create a transform boundary. This movement can cause earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. Over time, this movement can also cause the land near the boundary to fracture and shift.
What are the three types of plate tectonic boundries?
The three types of plate tectonic boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move apart; convergent boundaries, where plates collide; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.
What are active zones?
It where to plates rub past each other; move away from each other; or move towards each other.
What is it called when two plates move away from each other?
When two plates move away from each other it makes a falt line or a riffed. -bekahcboo
What are three types of faults and how are they diffrent?
Transverse - Plates move side by side Convergent - Plates move towards each other, usually one gets subducted. Divergent - Plates move away from each other.
What are plates called if they move apart from each other?
When plates move apart from each other, it's known as divergent plate boundary. This process usually happens along mid-ocean ridges where new crust is formed as magma rises and solidifies.
