A transverse range forms as a result of compression and thrust faulting. The faulting occurs where San Andreas Fault turns E-W.

What type of plate boundary forms where two plates slide past one another?

A transform plate boundary forms where two plates slide past one another horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes due to the friction and pressure buildup along the boundary. An example of this type of boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.

A mid-ocean ridge forms at what type of plate boundary?

A mid-ocean ridge forms at the divergent plate boundary. This boundary initially forms rifts that later on become rift valleys.


What is a transverse boundary?

A transverse boundary is when two plates collide, causing great amounts of pressure. The plates crumble, and usually get destroyed. This is a very destructive type of boundary. This is also know as a transform boundary, or a sliding boundary- even though this action is the opposite of sliding.


The boundary of the Pacific plate scrapes against that of the North American plate and forms is what?

The boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate is a transform boundary. At this boundary, the plates slide past each other horizontally, causing frequent earthquakes along the boundary. This boundary is known as the San Andreas Fault.


What type of plate boundary is involved in volcano kilauea?

None. Kilauea and all the Hawaiian volcanoes were created by a hot spot rather than a plate boundary.

Is the Tambora on a convergent boundary?

Yes. Tambora is located where the Indian-Australian plate and the Eurasian plate collide. When two plates collide, it forms a convergent boundary.
