When they slide against one another, there is a high likelyhood that something will get caught, and there is so much stress and strain that the plate can't handle it anymore, so it snaps and releases energy known as an earthquake.Also its like a car for example when 2 cars pass each other 2 cars gets too much pressure and makes a scarch
What else can I help you with?
What happens when plates suddenly lurch against each other?
it causes an earthquake(:
What happens when 2 plates rub against each other?
When two tectonic plates rub against each other, they can create friction and pressure that eventually causes the plates to stick. As the pressure builds up, the plates can suddenly release energy in the form of an earthquake. This movement of the plates can also lead to the formation of mountain ranges or the release of volcanic activity.
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 happens when two tectonic plates oush against each other?
it would brake
What happens when plates suddenly lurch against each other?
it causes an earthquake(:
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 happens when 2 plates rub against each other?
When two tectonic plates rub against each other, they can create friction and pressure that eventually causes the plates to stick. As the pressure builds up, the plates can suddenly release energy in the form of an earthquake. This movement of the plates can also lead to the formation of mountain ranges or the release of volcanic activity.
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 when plates collide into each other?
It creates mountians
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
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.
