A transverse boundary is when two plates collide, causing great amounts of pressure. The plates crumble, and usually get destroyed. This is a very destructive type of boundary. This is also know as a transform boundary, or a sliding boundary- even though this action is the opposite of sliding.

What is another name for a strike slip boundary?
a transverse boundary
What type of boundary has earthquakes transverse?
convergent
What forms from a transverse plate boundary?
A transverse range forms as a result of compression and thrust faulting. The faulting occurs where San Andreas Fault turns E-W.
What is the name of the plane that divides the body into upper and lower sections?
horizontal plane
How uplift can occur at all types of plate boundaries?
the correct answer is: For example, as rocks on one side of a transform plate boundary grind and push against the rocks on the other plate, mountain, such as the transverse ranges, can form.

A wave that occurs at the boundary between two media when transverse waves combine?
A standing wave occurs when two transverse waves combine.
What is a wave that occurs at or near the boundary of two different media?
Either Longitudinal, transverse, or a surface wave.
What is a wave that occurs at the boundary between two media when transverse and longitudinal waves combine?
megnetic wave and or a surface wave
What is the difference between a transform and a transverse fault?
A transform fault is a general term to describe a plate boundary where the lithosphere is not destroyed or created. A transverse fault is a type of transform fault also known as a strike-slip fault.
What type of plate boundary forms where two plates slide past one another?
That is called a boundary or a transform-fault boundary. :D
What type of plate boundary is Popocatepetl at?
Convergent, divergent, or maybe a transform boundary. Choose any one you want to.
How might the San Andreas fault impact your lives?
The San Andreas Fault is a transverse fault boundary and causes earthquakes, impacting everyone in the region.
What is the plate boundary of the san Andreas fault?
A transform boundary.
How does the medium vibrate in a transverse wave?
during the propagation of traverse wave the molecules of medium vibrate up and down from mean position in the form of crest and trough.Example:wave in spring,wave in waterWater is the typical example given, but the water wave is a compressive wave at a boundary -- sort of a half transverse wave. Light is the physic's transverse wave. It too should be looked at suspiciously.
