What natural hazard usually results when crustal plates scrape and slide past one another?
Tectonic plates are huge plates of rock covering the surface of the earth. They are very slowly moving, some moving together, some moving apart.Sometimes they have been pushing or pulling a bit without any movement until suddenly they give a jerk. That jerk is usually an earthquake.The natural disaster from the movement of tectonic plates is an earthquake, and if it's under the sea, then it might cause a tsunami.
What does convergent bounderies mean?
Convergent boundaries are where tectonic plates move towards each other. This movement can result in the plates colliding, causing subduction (one plate moving under the other), or in the plates crumpling and creating mountain ranges. These boundaries are associated with seismic activity and volcanic eruptions.
How is the unit being used to hold two metals plates tightly together?
We would need to know what unit you mean to be able to answer.
What does convergent plates mean?
Convergent plates are tectonic plates that are moving towards each other. This movement often results in one plate being forced beneath the other in a process known as subduction. Convergent plate boundaries are associated with intense geological activity, such as earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and the formation of mountain ranges.
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 does category of earthquake mean?
the moving or depositioning of rocks underneath the surface of the earth when th earths plates collide
What is the history of the Swiss alps?
well.... tectonic plates collided together forming them. What do you mean history?

What does it mean if a plate boundary is divergent?
When two tectonic plates are diverging, that means that they are coming apart. Depending whether or not they are oceanic plates or continental plates, the outcome will be different. If two oceanic plates diverge, a rift valley will occur in the ocean; if the same is with continental plates an rift vally will occur on the continent.
What does oceanic plates mean?
Oceanic plates are sections of the Earth's lithosphere that form the bedrock beneath the world's oceans. These plates are typically denser and younger than continental plates, and they are constantly moving due to the process of plate tectonics. Subduction zones are often found at the boundaries where oceanic plates meet continental plates.
At what type of boundary do plates move together?
This is a convergent plate boundary, the plates move towards each other. The amount of crust on the surface of the earth remains relatively constant. Therefore, when plates diverge (separate) and form new crust in one area, the plates must converge (come together) in another area and be destroyed. An example of this is the Nazca plate being subducted under the South American plate to form the Andes Mountain Chain. got this from:http://www.moorlandschool.co.uk/earth/tectonic.htm
What does plate boundary mean?
Earth's crust is broken up into segments called tectonic plates, which move very slowly. A plate boundary is where two of these plates meet. There are three basic types: convergent boundaries where plates collide, divergent boundaries where plates pull apart, and transform boundaries where plates slide past each other.
Where did Dally live right before moving to Ponyboy's town?
Dally lived on the mean streets of New York City for three years before moving to Oklahoma (Ponyboy's town).
What happens when to continental plates come together?
