They move all the time due to convection streams. When they bump to each other a lot of tension occours. And when finally on or the other plate gives in the slide goes over or under the other plate. Did that answer to your guestion?

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.
When two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally it usually causes?
earthquakes
When two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally the boundary between them is called?
convergent
How might two tectonic plates interact with each other?
They can collide with each otherOne plate may slide under another plate.They can slide past each other
Can your give me a sentence using the words tectonic plates?
The tectonic plates slide together, causing an earthquake to erupt across the southern part of the state.
What are plates that slide underneath another?
tectonic plates
What do tectonic plates move?
Tectonic Plates move by trying to push past each other and by trying to slide past each other.
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
Is it true that when tectonic plates slide past each other they create a spreading of an ocean?
No. When tectonic plates move away from each other they can cause an ocean to spread.
When earth plates slide past each other does that cause a earthquake?
Yes ♥The tectonic plates.
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.
What do tectonic plates do at transform plate boundaries?
They slide past each other horizontally.
What is a plate called that slide past each other?
I believe that you are thinking of tectonic plates.
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 occurs on faults?
The tectonic plates underneath the earths crust are moving, and these plates crash into, and slide against each other. These places where the plates meet are called fault lines. Since the plates are constantly moving, there is a lot of pressure between the plates, and eventually, it needs to be released in the form of an earthquake.
What layer are the plates on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
When two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally it usually causes?
earthquakes
