When plates slide past each other what boundary is formed?
A strike-slip
What are the three types of plate tectonic boundries?
divergent (plates move away from each other), convergent --->
What are three types of convergent boundaries?
Converging (destructive) plate boundary: where two plates collide. Diverging (constructive) plate boundary: where two plates move away from each other. Transform plate boundary: where two plates move, or grind, past each other. Like the boundary in California.
What tectonic plates affect Sacramento?
Sacramento, California is on the North American Plate near the boundary with the Pacific Plate. As these plates grind against each other it creates earthquakes that can affect the area.
What happens at a divergent boundary?
At this type of boundary, two tectonic plates move apart from eachother. This movement of plates causes new crust to be formed. Examples of the work of divergent boundaries are present at deep ocean trenches and volcanic islands, like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. Hope that answers your question for you
Convergent boundary three types are what?
Converging (destructive) plate boundary: where two plates collide. Diverging (constructive) plate boundary: where two plates move away from each other. Transform plate boundary: where two plates move, or grind, past each other. Like the boundary in California.

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 occurs when two plates grind pass each other without creating or destroying lithosphere?
transform fault boundary

Is the crust destroyed or formed in transform boundary?
Niether. At a transform boundary, plates slide past each other, and crust is conserved.
What kind of plate occurs where two plates grind past each other without destroying or producing lithosphere?
transform fault boundary

What happens on a divergent plate boundary?
the two plates are moving away from each other, and new crust is formed.
