What type of fault can result from horizontal shearing object plates?
strike-slip
When shearing causes areas between plates that are sliding past one another to form what?
fault mountains
How would you describe the Motion of plates in a convergent boundary?
Moving together
This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along horizontal plane?
This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along a horizontal plane.
How many crustal plates does Venus have?
There is local tectonic activity but the surface appears to be a single crustal plate, with little large-scale horizontal motion of plates as found on the Earth.
What type of fault results from horizontal shearing between plates?
Horizontal shearing at tectonic plate boundaries results in a special type of strike slip fault known as a transform fault.
What type of fault can result from horizontal shearing object plates?
strike-slip
This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along a horizontal plane?
This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along a horizontal plane.
What are the three types of stress in plates?
The three types of stress in plates are tensile stress (stretching), compressive stress (compressing), and shear stress (sliding or tearing). These stresses can cause deformation or failure in the material if they exceed its strength.
When an earthquake is shearing what does that mean?
When an Earthquake is shearing two plates from transform boundaries are sliding past one another. For example when I rub my hands past one another that is kind of like what is happening when shearing occurs.
When shearing causes areas between plates that are sliding past one another to form what?
fault mountains

How do tectonic plates move at a transform boundary?
At transform boundaries, the plates move horizontal in relation to each other.
How do plates move at transform plate boundaries?
At transform boundaries, the plates move horizontal in relation to each other.
When the earth's plates shift the results is?
The plates are shifting all the time.
Which what is horizontal?
A table top is horizontal, otherwise, the plates would slide off. Any surface, drawn line, or object, classed as being level is also horizontal.
Modern climates are results of what?
tectonic plates.
