An earthquake occurs. This would also be considered a transform plate boundary, a fault zone, and a strike-slip fault. A perfect example would be the San Andreas Fault in California, which is responsible for so many earthquakes in Los Angeles and San Fransisco. The movement is small, but when there is movement, there will be an earthquake. Over time, San Fran and LA will eventually meet.

What layer in earths mantle do the plates slide over?
The asthenosphere.
When two tectonic plates slide past each other what happens to the crust of these plates?
When the plates slide past each other, it releases a shock wave, either a p-wave or an s-wave, and it spreads out in all directions. Sometimes it causes earthquakes.
What occurs when the plates of rock that form Earths surface slide back and forth?
An EarthQuake Accurs

What is the other name for sliding plate boundary?
Transform Boundaries is the plates where plates slide past each other.
What happens to temperature and pressure as depth beneath earths surface increase?
the plates slide in place
Where do earths's plates slide past each other?
In a divergent plate boundary
Where do earths plates slide past each each other?
In a divergent plate boundary
What layer are the plates on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
What happens when earths crust doesn't move?
presure starts to build. when that pressure is released, it causes an earthquake. This only happens on a transform boundry beetween two plates, which is where they slide against each other.

What layer in earths mantle do the plates slide over?
The asthenosphere.
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 happens when plates scrape and slide past each other?
n vh
What happens when two continental plates slide past each other?
Transform faults are caused by plates sliding past each other.
How a earthquake begins?
It happens when two stressed plates slide pass each other
