Where do earths's plates slide past each other?
In a divergent plate boundary
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.
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).
What happens when tectonic plates slide past each other?
What occurs when the plates slide each other is a boundary forming. this boundary is called a transform boundary.
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.
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.
What are three ways tectonic plates interact with each other?
When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
When plates slide past each other what is it called?
An earthquake
What occurs when plates slide past each other?
When plates slide past each other, it is known as a transform boundary. This movement causes earthquakes along the fault line between the two plates. Friction between the plates can build up over time, eventually releasing in a sudden movement that shakes the Earth's surface.
Are most volcanoes on land caused by the earths plates moving away from each other or moving toward each other?
all volcanoes are caused by the earths plates moving toward each other and that is called convergent boundaries.
What type of boundry is a transform boundry?
A transform boundry is when two plates slide past each other
