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 two continental plates slide past each other?
Transform faults are caused by plates sliding past each other.
When 2 plates come in contact with one another what happens?
They can slide past each other, they can collide, or they can pull apart.
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.
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.
Forms when two crustal lithospheric plates slide past each other?
A transform boundary is formed when two crustal lithospheric plates slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions. The movement at these boundaries is typically characterized by frequent earthquakes due to the friction between the two plates as they slide. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
How do crustal plates interact with earthquakes?
sometimes they slide around and that movement creates earthquakes
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
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
What happens when two plates slide?
there is faulting
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 happens when the two plates slide past each other deep inside the Earth's crust?
An earthquake.
What happens at a divergant boundry?
The plates slide across from each other. By that I mean away from each other and they can make earthquakes and mountains!
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.
