Which type of boundaries do plates slide past?
Conservative
Do tectonic plates have only one type of boundary?
No. There are three main types of boundary: convergent boundaries where plates push into each other, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
Why is it important to know what type of plates are interacting at plate boundaries?
Where plates meet, their relative motion determines the type of boundary: convergent, divergent, or transform.
What type of mountain is formed when plates converge?
when plate boundaries converge folded mountains are formed.
What tectonic plates surround hawaii and the kohala volcanoe?
The type of plate boundaries surround Hawaii and The Kohala volcanoe would be the convergent boundaries.

Three types of plate boundaries?
Convergent (or destructive): Where two plates are moving toward each other. Collisions between oceanic plates results in subduction of the more dense plate. Collisions between an oceanic plate and a continental plate may result in the subduction of the oceanic plate because oceanic plates are more dense than continental plates. Collisions between two continental plates results in uplift and mountain formation where neither plate subducts.Divergent (or constructive): Where two plates are moving away from each other. Divergent plate boundaries are the site of new crust formation, particularly at the mid-ocean ridges, where spreading plates are infilled with basaltic magma from the asthenosphere.Transform (or conservative): Where two plates slide (actually 'grind') alongside each other and neither plate subducts. Earthquakes are common at transform faults due to the grinding and snapping movements of the plates as they move.

What plates are involved and what type of movement is involved with Mount Vesuvius?
the plate boundaries were Eurasian and African.
What type of mountain is formed when plates converge?
when plate boundaries converge folded mountains are formed.
At what type of boundary do Earth's plates move away from each other?
Divergent plate boundaries.
What tectonic plates surround hawaii and the kohala volcanoe?
The type of plate boundaries surround Hawaii and The Kohala volcanoe would be the convergent boundaries.
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 happens at the boundaries of tectonic plates?
if it's a convergent (--> <--) boundary, one plate slides under another and usually forms volcanoes or trenches divergent (<-- -->) forms a ridge where new crust forms transform is when two plates slide past each other, and it causes earthquakes
What is the type of plate boundaries where two plates move together causing one of the slabs of lithosphere to descend into the mantle beneath an overriding plate?
Subduction
What type of plate movement creates folding mountains?
Mountains form along convergent boundaries when 2 plates collide. These are also called colliding boundaries.
