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

What is the plate tectonic boundary type when plates move alongside each other?
Transform Boundary
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
What type of plate has plates sliding past each other?
The tectonic plates
Where plates tectonics move past each other?
At tectonic plate boundaries, earthquake zones, and the edges of tectonic plates.

Transform Boundary
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
Where do earthquakes form and where they are find?
Anywhere there are tectonic plates, and when two tectonic plates hit each other
What kind of plates bump into each other?
tectonic
Is it true that when tectonic plates slide past each other they create a spreading of an ocean?
No. When tectonic plates move away from each other they can cause an ocean to spread.
What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
What type of plate has plates sliding past each other?
The tectonic plates
Where plates tectonics move past each other?
At tectonic plate boundaries, earthquake zones, and the edges of tectonic plates.
Why do tectonic plates move against each other?
tectonic plates move against each other essentially because of the movement of molten rock underneath the earth's surface or crust. This movement causes the plates to rub against each other.
What tectonic plate caused Christchurch's earthquakes?
there tectonic plates under the water. so when the tectonic plates are moved or hit each other means there will be an earthquake.
Why are most of the earthquakes and volcanoes located at the border of the tectonic plates?
Beacause plates, at tectonic, boundaries shift against each other.
What is it called when tectonic plates pass each other horizontlly?
Plates rubbing past each other is known as a transform boundary.
