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).
Forms when two crustal lithospheric plates slide past each other?
Sliding Boundaries
What is it called when 2 plates slide past each other?
It is called transform boundaries.An earthquake
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.
How were the Swiss Alps formed?
tectonic plates from eurasia and africa pushed against each other and the alps were formed HURRAY
What happen when plates slide past each other?
An Earthquake occurs.
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.
Which type of earthquake is the result of the release of pressure from when two plates slide past each other in opposing directions?
When two plates slide past each other in opposing directions, an interplate earthquake occurs. It occurs at the boundary between two tectonic plates.
What occurs at a transform boundary?
The plates slide past each other. It can cause earthquakes.
What occurs when two plates slide and move next to each other?
it is a transform fault and earthquakes naturakly are going to occur
Do plates slide past each other at convergent boundaries?
No. Plates come together at convergent boundaries. In other words they converge. Plates slide past each other at transform boundaries.
What are the techtonic plates that slide past each other called?
Where 2 plates slide past each other in a horizontal motion that boundary is called a Transform Boundary, or a fault.
Which type of plates slide past each other in opposite directions?
A Transform boundary consists of plates that slide past each other in opposite directions. The earth is made of lots of different sliding plates.
What are three ways tectonic plates interact with each other?
When plates slide past each other, move toward each other, and move away from each other.
When plates slide past each other what is it called?
An earthquake
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
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).
