What type of motion happens when tectonic plates slip by each other?
friction
When two tectonic plates slip past each other going in opposite directions a?
Continental Crust
What causes friction on tectonic plates?
Friction on tectonic plates is primarily caused by the rough, uneven surfaces of the plates as they move past each other. The irregularities in the plates' texture create resistance along the boundary where they meet, leading to friction. Additionally, the presence of fluids in fault zones can also contribute to friction by affecting the slip behavior of the plates.
When tectonic plates move and slip past each other they cause in Earth's crust?
Faults, and plate rupture.
What is Another Name For The Plates That Move Around?
If you mean for the plates that are the earth's crust they are called 'Tectonic Plates'.
What type of motion happens when tectonic plates slip by each other?
friction
When tectonic plates move and slip what are they called in earths crush?
They are called earthquakes.
Plate tectonics and earthquakes related?
Yes, earthquakes happen when the tectonic plates 'slip'.

When and where will earthquakes take place?
We can't predict when an earthquake will happen, however: Earthquakes happen when tectonic plates 'slip'.

Can earthquakes affect plate tectonics?
Earthquakes are a result of the movement of tectonic plates, not the cause. While earthquakes can provide valuable data about the behavior of different plate boundaries, they do not directly affect the overall movement of tectonic plates.
Why do earthquakes occur the San Andrea's fault?
Earthquakes occur along the San Andreas Fault because of the tectonic plates. When the plates slip or shift, an earthquake happens.
