Yes because when they hit it causes the ground to shake.

What happens at a divergant boundry?

The plates slide across from each other. By that I mean away from each other and they can make earthquakes and mountains!


Are earthquakes caused by plates sliding past each other?

Yes, earthquakes are primarily caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When two plates slide past each other, get stuck, and then suddenly release, it generates seismic waves that we feel as earthquakes.


What occurs at a transform boundary?

At a transform boundary, two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions. This movement can result in earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. Transform boundaries do not typically involve the creation or destruction of crust, but rather the lateral movement of existing crust.


What damage is caused when 2 earth plates slide against each other?

Earthquakes.


What happened at a transform plate boundary?

The plates slide against each other, causeing earthquakes.


Is there is a recognizable pattern to where earthquakes seem to occur?

Earthquakes occur along fault lines and the edges of tectonic plates. These are areas where the earth's plates move against each other. When they slide past each other, earthquakes occur.


When two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally it usually causes?

earthquakes as the plates get stuck and then suddenly release, sending seismic waves through the ground.


How do crustal plates interact with earthquakes?

sometimes they slide around and that movement creates earthquakes


What makes Earthquakes happened?

Tectonic plates shifting around while bumping into another tectonic plate. When the plates slide pass each other, it creates a transform boundary which makes earthquakes.


What caused the wobble?

if you are talking about earthquakes then its all about tectonic plates. The force of two plates get to much so one of the plates slide under the other forming an earthquake.


A possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary is?

earthquakes occurring as the plates slide past each other in opposite directions.


What geological processes is most likely to occur when plates slide past each other at a transfrom boundary?

Earthquakes
