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 can happen when 2 plates slide against each other?
an earthquake
What is a active zone?
It where to plates rub past each other; push against each other; or move away from each other.
What is the difference between convergent and divergent and transform boundaries?
Divergent boundaries- Plates move apart from each other Convergent boundaries- Plates compress against each other Transform boundaries- Plates move past each other
Why do you think the plates began to slip against each other laterally 30 million years ago?

Why do tectonic plates move against each other?
tectonic plates move against each other essentially because of the movement of molten rock underneath the earth's surface or crust. This movement causes the plates to rub against each other.
What is a contiental boundary?
when the plates get against each other
What are the three main plate boundries?
Divergent, convergent, and transform. transform boundary is when plates slide against each other. Convergent is when plates collide and push against each other, and divergent is when plates pull apart.
What happens when plates slip past each other at transform boundaries?
When plates rub against each other in any direction, it causes an earthquake.
When two plates rub against each what might the results be?
When two plates rub against each other, the resulting can be an earthquake. It can cause mass destruction on earth.
What Are Plates Sliding Against Each Other Called?
I think you're referring to tectonic plates, there are 3 ways one is convergent boundary, divergent, and transform. Plates that slide against each other are called transform boundary's. And your welcome

Are earthquakes caused by plates sliding past each other?
lithospheric plates slide scrape against each other during an earthquake which is the cause of one.
Do convergent plates move away from each other?
they move against one another
