Name the 3 ways that plates move along a fault in earth and explain the difference between them?
There are three ways that tectonic plates can move and form boundaries. They can form divergent, convergent, and transform boundaries.
What are three ways plates can move in relation to one another?
Plates either move towards each other (convergent plates), away from each other (divergent plates) or slide next to each other (transform plates).
Were do continents move?
the tonic plates move underneath them
What are three ways plates move?
There are three ways that tectonic plates can move. There is divergent movement, or separating, convergent movement, or coming together, and transform movement, or sliding along each other.
Why may people want to move to another country?
why may people move to another country
How are the movement of plates at divergent boundaries and at the transform boundaries similar?
The difference between transform and divergent boundaries is that transform boundaries occur when tectonic plates slide past each other, whereas at divergent boundaries they move away from each other. However in both cases the plates move horizontally (unlike at convergent boundaries where one plate may be pushed underneath another).
the Sanandreas fault is a location where tectonic plates move horizontally past each other?
that is the transform boundaries
What is the place where two tectonic plates move away from each other horizontially?
The place where two tectonic plates move away from each other horizontally are called divergent plate boundaries.
What are the three ways boundaries interact?
convergent boundaries: plates move together divergent boundaries: plates move apart transform boundaries: plates move against each other
How do plates move at transform plate boundaries?
At transform boundaries, the plates move horizontal in relation to each other.
Do convergent plates move away from each other?
they move against one another
What do plates move apart on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
Do plates move horizontally vertically or both?
Both
Continenetal plates move vertically and horizontally?
yes they have
What is a tectonic plate boundary?
The region where tectonic plates move toward, apart or horizontally past one another.
Plates move apart because of?
the plates move apart because of plate boundaries !:)
What do plates move apart along on?
Plates move apart on divergent plate boundaries.
