What can happen when 2 plates slide against each other?
an earthquake
What is the other name for sliding plate boundary?
Transform Boundaries is the plates where plates slide past each other.
What are the techtonic plates that slide past each other called?
Where 2 plates slide past each other in a horizontal motion that boundary is called a Transform Boundary, or a fault.
When plates slide past each other what is it called?
An earthquake
When plates slide past each other at a transform boundary geological processes is most likely to occur?
An earthquake will most likely occur because the techtonic plates below the earth's surface are grinding past one another causing severe shaking.
What happen when plates slide past each other?
An Earthquake occurs.

What geological processes is most likely to occur when plates slide past each other at a transfrom boundary?
Earthquakes
Where are earthquakes most likely to occer?
earthquakes are most likely to occur at the boundaries of tectonic plates. Especially at transform or convergent boundaries where the two plates are being forced to slide past each other or against each other.
What happen two plates slide past one another?

What happen when two plates slide past one another?

Do plates slide past each other at convergent boundaries?
No. Plates come together at convergent boundaries. In other words they converge. Plates slide past each other at transform boundaries.
Does earthquake occur often when two landforms slide past each other?
No. Earthquakes happen when two plates pull apart.
Do volcanoes always happen in the same places?
No they can happen any where. plates slide and create one.
Which type of plates slide past each other in opposite directions?
A Transform boundary consists of plates that slide past each other in opposite directions. The earth is made of lots of different sliding plates.
What is the other name for sliding plate boundary?
Transform Boundaries is the plates where plates slide past each other.
What occurs when plates slide past each other?
When plates slide past each other, it is known as a transform boundary. This movement causes earthquakes along the fault line between the two plates. Friction between the plates can build up over time, eventually releasing in a sudden movement that shakes the Earth's surface.
