What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
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
What type of boundry is a transform boundry?
A transform boundry is when two plates slide past each other
What volcanoes can cause?
=Sliding plates that slide past each other==Sliding plates that slide past each other=
Two plates grind past each other at a?
I'm learning about this at school too! When two plates slide right past each other in either direction is called Shearing.
What are three things that can occur at the edges of plates?
There are 3 types of boundaries Conservative(the plates grind past each other), Constructive(The slide apart from each other, allowing magma to erupt upward) and Destructive(One plate goes under another plate, creating a subduction zone)
What are three ways plates can move in relation to one another?
Plates either move towards each other (convergent plates), away from each other (divergent plates) or slide next to each other (transform plates).
Where can a earthquake come from?
tetoic plates grind the grind a slip past each other
How might two tectonic plates interact with each other?
They can collide with each otherOne plate may slide under another plate.They can slide past each other
What plates slide past each other?
A transformed plate margin is the plate that slides past each other
What occurs when plates slide past each other?
A transform boundary is made when tectonic plates slide past each other.
What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
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.
When 2 plates come in contact with one another what happens?
They can slide past each other, they can collide, or they can pull apart.
What happens when two plates slide pass one another?
The friction generates energy that can manifest itself in an earthquake, which can be more severe if the plates snag on each other.
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.
