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.
Why are the majority of earthquake zones located at tectonic pate boundaries?
The majority of earthquake zones are located at tectonic pate boundaries because it is the relative motion of the plates that causes earthquakes.
What natural process is causing the motion of earth plates?
the mantle is pressuring the plates above which cause the boundaries we learned about to begin. The boundaries are: Convergent, Divergent, and Transform. the plates will have moved because of the boundaries either one of those three. This all will cause earthquakes and other things that i will learn about through the years of my education.
What is the boundary between plates where relative motion can cause a quake called?
the large sections of the earth's crust that move relative to each other
What do transform boundaries have in common with divergent boundaries?
Rhe tectonic plates are moving in both divergent and transform boundaries

Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of these?
Most earthquakes occur at the boundaries of the tectonic plates. Tectonic plates are always in motion, and when two of them collide with one another it causes earthquakes.

What are the three ways boundaries interact?
convergent boundaries: plates move together divergent boundaries: plates move apart transform boundaries: plates move against each other
What is the meaning of plate boundry?
Plate boundaries, essentially, are the areas where two lithospheric plates meet. When this happens, one of three things can happen. Plates can move apart from each other, creating divergent boundaries. Plates can collide together, created convergent boundaries. Or plates can rub against each other in a parallel motion, created transform fault boundaries. Divergent boundaries, usually between two oceanic plates, creates an upswelling of magma from the lithosphere. Convergent boundaries, usually between oceanic and continental plates, causes the oceanic plate to subduct underneath the continental plate, leading to the destruction of seafloor. Transform fault boundaries neither destroy nor create lithosphere.
What are the three ways that tectonic plates can move relative to each other?
Plates move in one of four ways:Spreading, or moving apartSubduction, or diving under another plateCollision, or crashing into one anotherSliding past each other in a shearing motion
Where are the boundaries of tectonics plates?
The primary plate boundaries of tectonic plates are located around the continents.
How do mountains build and volcanoes relate to plate motion at convergent boundaries?
they are both formed by converging plates at a BOUNDARY THAT PUSH UP THE EARTH
What were boundaries?
Boundaries are where two tectonic plates meet.
What do transform boundaries have in common with divergent boundaries?
Rhe tectonic plates are moving in both divergent and transform boundaries
