When two tectonics plates rub against each other what might the result be?
An earthquake
Why do tectonic plates move against each other?
tectonic plates move against each other essentially because of the movement of molten rock underneath the earth's surface or crust. This movement causes the plates to rub against each other.
What Are Plates Sliding Against Each Other Called?
I think you're referring to tectonic plates, there are 3 ways one is convergent boundary, divergent, and transform. Plates that slide against each other are called transform boundary's. And your welcome
What happens when plates slip past each other at transform boundaries?
When plates rub against each other in any direction, it causes an earthquake.
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 a contiental boundary?
when the plates get against each other
What are the three main plate boundries?
Divergent, convergent, and transform. transform boundary is when plates slide against each other. Convergent is when plates collide and push against each other, and divergent is when plates pull apart.
What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.

What feature results from two oceanic plates pulling away from each other?
trench
Do convergent plates move away from each other?
they move against one another
How did earthquake make the Himalayas?
the earth's surface is made up of tectonic plates, due to convection currents these plates are moving all the time because of this you have huge tectonic plates pushing against each other. the cause of earth quakes is tectonic plates rubbing against each other, eventually these plates push up wards founing huge mountain vistas such as the himilayas. these plates keep moving and this is whay mount Everest grows 4 inches or so every year (might be 4 millimeters)
Do faults cause earthquakes?
no. the plates pushing against each other do.
