When plates move apart from each other in opposite directions what is it called?
When plates move apart from each other in opposite directions, it is called divergent boundary or a constructive boundary. This process typically happens at mid-ocean ridges where new oceanic crust is formed as magma rises up and solidifies.
Which type of boundaries do plates slide past?
Plates slide past each other at transform boundaries. These boundaries occur when two plates slide horizontally in opposite directions parallel to each other. The movement can be either in the same direction but at different speeds, or in opposite directions.
When two tectonic plates slip past each other going in opposite directions a?
Continental Crust
Do transform plates move together or apart?
Transform plates are also known as "Spreading Plates." Therefore, they spread apart
When plates move apart from each other in opposite directions it is what type of boundary?
When plates move apart from each other in opposite directions, it is known as a divergent boundary. This movement creates new oceanic crust as magma rises to fill the gap created by the separating plates. Volcanic activity and earthquakes are common at divergent boundaries.
Which type of plates slide past each other in opposite directions?
Transform plate boundaries involve plates sliding past each other in opposite directions. This type of plate boundary is associated with strike-slip faults, such as the San Andreas Fault in California.

Two plates move past each other in the opposite directions?
Transform Boundary
Which type of boundaries do plates slide past?
Plates slide past each other at transform boundaries. These boundaries occur when two plates slide horizontally in opposite directions parallel to each other. The movement can be either in the same direction but at different speeds, or in opposite directions.
What is the effect of two plates sliding against each other in opposite directions?
earth quakes
What is the boundary where two plates move past each other in opposite directions?
Transform Boundary.
When two tectonic plates slip past each other going in opposite directions a?
Continental Crust
What happens when two plates pass each other in opposite directions?
Normally when two plates pass each other they create earthquakes and faults. When two plates pass each other the type of boundary the have is called a Transform Boundary.
Do transform plates move together or apart?
Transform plates are also known as "Spreading Plates." Therefore, they spread apart
A possible result of plates moving along a transform boundary is?
earthquakes occurring as the plates slide past each other in opposite directions.
What is it called when the earths plates slip past each other moving in opposite directions?
It's simply an earthquake.
What happens when two plates are moving horizontally past each other?
When two plates are moving horizontally past each other, they slide past in opposite directions. This sliding motion is known as a transform boundary. Friction between the plates can build up stress, which is eventually released in the form of earthquakes.
