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 is it called when tectonic plates pass each other horizontlly?

It is called a transform boundary, where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This type of boundary can lead to earthquakes and the formation of fault lines. Examples include the San Andreas Fault in California.

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 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.

What resulte when the Earth's plates collide?

Earthquakes and tidal waves can be cause. Mountain ranges can also be upthrust. Generally speaking plates don't collide, as they are usually in constant contact with each other. WHt happens is that one plate is forced under another one. These plates then create friction which builds up pressure until suddenly one of the plates is freed, which results in the 'shock' of an earthquake. However, if there is no friction, the plates can often pass easily over/under each other.
