An earthquake occurs. This would also be considered a transform plate boundary, a fault zone, and a strike-slip fault. A perfect example would be the San Andreas Fault in California, which is responsible for so many earthquakes in Los Angeles and San Fransisco. The movement is small, but when there is movement, there will be an earthquake. Over time, San Fran and LA will eventually meet.
What else can I help you with?
What layer in earths mantle do the plates slide over?
The asthenosphere.
What occurs when the plates of rock that form Earths surface slide back and forth?
An EarthQuake Accurs
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.
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.
What is the other name for sliding plate boundary?
Transform Boundaries is the plates where plates slide past each other.
Where do earths's plates slide past each other?
In a divergent plate boundary
Where do earths plates slide past each each other?
In a divergent plate boundary
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
What layer are the plates on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
What happens when earths crust doesn't move?
presure starts to build. when that pressure is released, it causes an earthquake. This only happens on a transform boundry beetween two plates, which is where they slide against each other.
What layer are the plates sliding on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
What happens when plates scrape and slide past each other?
n vh
What layer in earths mantle do the plates slide over?
The asthenosphere.
How a earthquake begins?
It happens when two stressed plates slide pass each other
What happens when two plates slide?
there is faulting
What happens when the two plates slide past each other deep inside the Earth's crust?
An earthquake.
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!
