When these plates slide or move, it causes an earthquake. For example most recently it was reported that there was one in Nortwest Iran. Thie force of this is measured on "Richter scale" and the more higher it is on the scale, the more powerful it is - causing more destruction.
However, if this happens under the oceans, then it can trigger a Tsunami. A most recent example of this is the 2004 Tsunami in which thousands of people died. and more recently in Japan and the Fukushima Nuclear power plant. There are systems that can be used to warn people that a Tsunami is about to occur but people may not have time to move out of the area. The best that can be done is to move to a very high point.

What is a continental slide?
A continental slide is the new crust on the earth surface. It happens when two plates below the earth surfaces meets and the boundary became deep trenches.
What type of plate boundaries where 2 plates slide?
A Transform Boundary Is When Two Tectonic Plates Slide By One Another
When two plates slide past each other what happens to the crust of the plates?
When the plates slide past each other, it releases a shock wave, either a p-wave or an s-wave, and it spreads out in all directions. Sometimes it causes earthquakes.
When two tectonic plates slide past each other what happens to the crust of these plates?
When two tectonic plates slide past each other, they can create friction along the plate boundary. This friction can cause the plates to stick momentarily, leading to stress being built up. When the stress is released, it can result in an earthquake as the plates suddenly move past each other.
What is collide divide slide?
"Collide divide slide" is a phrase used to describe the three main types of plate boundaries: convergent (collide), divergent (divide), and transform (slide). Convergent boundaries are where plates come together, divergent boundaries are where plates move apart, and transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other.
What happens when two plates slide?
there is faulting
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
What happens when plates scrape and slide past each other?

How a earthquake begins?
It happens when two stressed plates slide pass each other
What happens when the two plates slide past each other deep inside the Earth's crust?
An earthquake.
What is a continental slide?
A continental slide is the new crust on the earth surface. It happens when two plates below the earth surfaces meets and the boundary became deep trenches.
What happens when two plates slide pass one another?
The friction generates energy that can manifest itself in an earthquake, which can be more severe if the plates snag on each other.
What happens at a divergant boundry?
The plates slide across from each other. By that I mean away from each other and they can make earthquakes and mountains!

What layer are the plates on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
