What happens when two plates pass each other in opposite directions?
Normally when two plates pass each other they create earthquakes and faults. When two plates pass each other the type of boundary the have is called a Transform Boundary.
What occurs when two plates grind pass each other without creating or destroying lithosphere?
transform fault boundary
What is a strike slip boundary?
A strike-slip boundary is when two plates move in two opposite directions from each other in a vertical fashion. For example, this line: | and this line | would be touching each other, and moving in opposite directions.Source: Eighth Grade Science
How do to use tectonic plates in a sentence?
A long section of tectonic plates under California means the State experiences small earthquakes every day.The tectonic plates under Mount Everest produced a 7.8 earthquake in Nepal in May 2015.Scientists know that as tectonic plates pass move by each other, it causes major upheaval underground which causes an earthquake.
How do mid ocean ridge support both the idea of continental drift and the theory of plate tectonics?
The mid ocean ridge support it becuase your find similar sample of rock type on opposite side of the ridge which has thesame age. Mid-Oceanic ridge are where new sea floors are created which is usually called a divergent boundary. As these places move apart they push the other plates to collide and slide pass each other. That is why it is a cycle
What is it called when tectonic plates pass each other horizontlly?
Plates rubbing past each other is known as a transform boundary.

What is it called when 2 tectonic plates pass each another?
earthquake
What is the boundary between two plates that are moving called?
Is they are moving away from each other it is a divargent boundryif they are moving towards each other it is a convergent bounderyIf they are sliding pass each other its a transormation boundery
How a earthquake begins?
It happens when two stressed plates slide pass each other
A plate where two plates slip past each other moving in opposite directions is known as a?
transform boundaries
What is the stick called that they pass to each other?
a baton
What happens when two plates slide pass one another?
The friction generates energy that can manifest itself in an earthquake, which can be more severe if the plates snag on each other.
What occurs when two plates grind pass each other without creating or destroying lithosphere?
transform fault boundary
What is it called when waves pass through each other and make each other bigger?
its call superposition
What makes an earthquake?
Tectonic plates shifting around while bumping into another tectonic plate. When the plates slide pass each other, it creates a transform boundary which makes earthquakes.
