What happens when plates suddenly lurch against each other?
it causes an earthquake(:
What happens when two plates pull away from each other in opposite directions?
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
What happens when plates collide but no subduction occurs?
they hug each other
What events occur when the tectonic plates move and grind against each other?
When tectonic plates move and grind against each other, this is an earthquake. If the moving of tectonic plates were to occur beneath the ocean's surface, the result would be a tsunami.
What is the boundary when two plates slide against each other?
The boundary where two plates slide against each other is called a transform plate boundary. At this boundary, the plates are sliding past each other horizontally. Transform boundaries are characterized by frequent earthquakes due to the intense friction between the plates.
What happens when two tectonic plates oush against each other?
it would brake
What happens when plates suddenly lurch against each other?

What would happen if two tectonic plates rubbed back and forth against each other?
an earthquake happens
Why did the eartquake in japan happen?
The same reason any earthquake happens, tectonic plates shifted against each other.
What happens when an earthquake is occurring?
Earthquakes are caused by things deep in the ground called plates. When plates shift and collide or rub against each other, that is when an earthquake is felt.
Is an earthquake caused by water penetrating Earth's surface?
No. An earthquake happens when the earth's tectonic plates rub against each other.
What is a contiental boundary?
when the plates get against each other
What happens two plates carrying continental crust collide?
These are convergent plates- and if the pressure continues it causes mountain building. The Indian and Eurasian plates collided millions of yrs ago and are STILL pressing against each other. They created the Himalayas which are still growing! There are three tyoes of boundaries around plates: convergent (pressing against each other); divergent- moving away;. and transform- sliding past each other.
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
What happens when plates collide into each other?
It creates mountians
What are the three main plate boundries?
Divergent, convergent, and transform. transform boundary is when plates slide against each other. Convergent is when plates collide and push against each other, and divergent is when plates pull apart.
What happens when two plates pull away from each other in opposite directions?
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
