When plates slide past each other at a transform boundary geological processes is most likely to occur?

An earthquake will most likely occur because the techtonic plates below the earth's surface are grinding past one another causing severe shaking.

When two plates slip pass each other is called?

When two tectonic plates slide past each other, it is called transform boundary. This movement can create earthquakes along the boundary where the plates are in contact.


What is it called when plates are moving toward each other?

This is called a convergent boundary. A divergent boundary is when plate move away from each other, and a transform boundary is when plates slide past each other.


When plates slide past each other what is it called?

When plates slide past each other, it is called a transform boundary or a strike-slip boundary. This type of boundary is characterized by horizontal movement along fault lines, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.
