What else can I help you with?
What happens when a plate slides against another plate?
it has transform boundary
What does a sliding boundary do?
It is where one plate slides past another plate, rubbing against it. One slides right, the other left. An example would be North America. Your Welcome.
What is formed when a dense ocean plate slides beneath a continental plate?
A subduction zone is formed.
What two plates formed mount Pinatubo?
Mt. Pinatubo is in a subduction zone. subduction is when one tectonic plate slides under another. In the Mt. Pinatubo area the Eurasian Plate slides under the Philippine Sea Plate at the Manila Trench.
What is a plate called when it slides over another plate?
collision
When one continental plate slides under another this is formed?
When one plate slides beneath another it is said to subduct. This is called a subduction zone. However, a continental plate cannot subduct, only an oceanic plate can. When two continental plates collide the land between them is squeezed horizontally, forming mountain ranges. Eventually the continental land masses will fuse together.
What happens when one tectonic plate slides against another?
An earthquake or tremmor may happen if the slide is strong enough.
What forms when one tectonic plate slides under another?
When one tectonic plate slides under another, a subduction zone is formed. This process creates deep ocean trenches and can lead to the formation of volcanic arcs and earthquakes. The sinking plate eventually melts into the mantle, contributing to the recycling of Earth's crust.
What occurs when one plate slides under another plate?
Mountains and earth quakes.
Where does a earthquake start?
Where a tectonic plate slides past another.
When one tectonic plate slides on one another?
earthquake
What forms when one plate slides past another plate?
When one tectonic plate slides past another, it can create a transform boundary. At this boundary, the plates grind against each other, causing earthquakes. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known example of a transform boundary.
