divergent= move away from each other convergent= CONVERGE together strike-slip= brushing past each other
A divergent boundary occurs at the point where two plates are moving away from each, creating more crust at the point of separation. A convergent boundary is where two plates are both moving into each other, neither subducting under the other, but pushing up the crust. A strike slip boundary occurs when plates are colliding at an angle. Tension builds up and is released in the form of an earthquake.

Three types of faults?
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
Tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally?
Transform boundary
What type of fault is at a transform plate boundary?
Transform faults are strike-slip faults that occur at the boundary between two plates of the earth's crust and do not produce or destroy lithosphere. Divergent faults produce new sea floor, while convergent faults occur when two plates collide underneath and create underground mountains.
What type of boundary produces strike slip faults?
transform boundary
What plate boundary that occurs when two plates slide past one another?
This is known as a transform boundary or a strike-slip fault; the U.S. famous one being the San Andreas Fault.
What are the all the boundary?
Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.
Three types of faults?
The normal fault, the thrust fault, the transcurrent fault , and the reverse fault.
When a strike slip fault that forms the boundary between two plates called a convergent boundary?
true
What are the three types of faults and what type of plate boundary are they associated with?
Convergent - reverse Divergent-Normal Transform-Skrik'n' Slip
Is this sentence true or false a strike-slip fault that forms the boundary between two plates is called convergent boundary?

Is the sentence a strike-slip fault that forms the boundary between two plates called a convergent boundary true or false?
false
Is the following sentence true or false a strike-slip fault that forms the boundary between two plates is called a convergent boundary?
It is false.
What fault occurs at a divergent boundary?
The type of fault that generally occurs at a divergent boundary is a strike-slip fault. It is also referred to as a transform fault.
Tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally?
Transform boundary
Is a strike-slip fault a transform boundary?
YES. A Strike-slip fault is usually a transform boundary.
Is strike slip boundary the same thing as a transform boundary?
No it is not.
What is another name for a strike slip boundary?
a transverse boundary
