What is the place where two tectonic plates slide past each other other horizontally?

That is a Strike-slip fault. This type of plate boundary is a relatively conservative boundary because the plates moves side by side horizontally causing little or no destruction of old plates or creation of new plates, but only causes a kind of boundary known as a Transform Boundary. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas fault, in California, USA North America.

When to tectonic plates push into each other the place the to plates meet is called what boundary?
Fault lines
What triggers the earthquake?
Earth is made up of many tectonic plates. When these plates shift, earthquakes happen. The tectonic plates are always moving, but most of the earthquakes are tremors (depends on how close you are to the place the tectonic plates are shifting).
The place where tectonic plates touch is known as the what?
It is called plate boundarys :P
Where do plates come together?
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
Does the dessert have earthquakes?
Like every other place on earth, deserts can have earthquakes, because of the tectonic plates beneath them that shift and collide.
What is the place where two tectonic plates move away from each other horizontially?
The place where two tectonic plates move away from each other horizontally are called divergent plate boundaries.

They are called a Plate Boundaries :)

How earthquake take place?
An earthquake takes place, because there are tectonic plates which sometimes crash into each other, some places are more affected then others because some places are closer to the tectonic plates then others.
What is a subducation zone?
A subduction zone is a place that occurs between two tectonic plates. It is the site where these tectonic plates have collided.
What is the Theory earth divided into moving plates?
The place where tectonic plates touch
The place where tectonic plates touch is known as the what?
It is called plate boundarys :P
Where do many earthquakes happen in a country?
it happens when the tectonic plates under the earth collide or push into each other to cause disruption so an earthquake would happen in a place were there is the edge of 2 tectonic plates underneath.
Where do plates come together?
The place where tectonic plates come together is named an Destructive Boundary
How do you use transform boundary in a sentence?
A transform boundary is the place at which two tectonic plates move past each other horizontally is called transform boundary.The San Andreas fault in California is a transform boundary.The most common place to find a transform boundary is the ocean floor.
