What forms when the lithospheric plates rub against each other?
well in a volcano the lithospheric plates meet when magma moves and moves at the bottom and in the magma chamber the lava[magma] is moving around the lithospheric plates thats what forms them but what forms when they rub against each other is a volcanic eruption
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.
What is formed when crustal plates move toward each other?
when tectonic plates move toward each othe forms
What forms when two plates collide and pile up on each other?
Mountain range.
New crust forms when or where?
where two plates pull apart from each other at oceanic ridges

Forms when two crustal lithospheric plates slide past each other?
Sliding Boundaries
What happens to lithospheric plates when an earthquake occurs?
Lithospheric plates, which also are called tectonic plates, move towards or away from each other when an earthquake occurs.
What are converging boundaries?
A convergent boundary is when two plates collide with each other forming landforms like trenches, or mountains (depends which type of plates converge.)
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.
Movement of lithospheric plates allows for the formation of volcanoes true or false?
Convection current occurs due to the difference in densities
What happens when the lithospheric plates rub past each other?
pressure builds uo and then releases
What type of stress occurs when lithospheric plates scrape past each other?
Shear stress.
How do the lithospheric plates move each year?
5 centimeters.
Describe how the presence of faults and folds supports the idea that lithospheric plates are in motion?
Faults and folds just support the idea that there lithospheric plates are in motion because folds appear when the plates move towards each other. The faults appear when the plates drift apart and cause an empty space.
What forms when plates scrape past each other?
Earthquakes
And how the lithospheric plates move centimeters each year?
