What type of plate boundaries exist today?
divergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move apart from each other. convergent plate boundary- a boundary where two plates move towards each other so that one plate can sink beneath the other. transform plate boundary- a boundary where one plate slips along side another plate.
What do you call the plate boundary where plates are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary
What plate boundaries move away from each other?
The kind of plate boundary that moves apart is a Divergent Plate Boundary
What is the area where two tectonic plates called?
Plate boundaries.
What type of plate boundary does pacific and N American plate form?
The Pacific Plate and the North American Plate form a transform plate boundary where they slide past each other horizontally. This boundary is known as the San Andreas Fault system in California.
What forms when one plate slides past another plate?
When one tectonic plate slides past another, it can create a transform boundary. At this boundary, the plates grind against each other, causing earthquakes. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known example of a transform boundary.
What type of plate movement occurs at a transform plate boundary?
At a transform plate boundary, plates slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions without creating or destroying lithosphere. This movement is characterized by lateral shearing, where the plates grind against each other, causing earthquakes.

What type of boundary where one plate slides under another?
It is a convergent boundary, where two plates move towards/collide/converge into each other. The lighter plate will then float above the denser plate. The part of the denser plate which sank will subduct then melt and become a magma chamber.This boundary is also known as a destructive boundary.

What do we call the plate boundary where plates are moving towards each other?
Convergence Boundary.
What do you call the plate boundary where plates are moving away from each other?
divergent boundary
What would happen when two plates meets?
When two plates meet each other thats called a Convergent boundary. They include areas where an oceanic plate slides below a continential plate.
What plate boundaries move away from each other?
The kind of plate boundary that moves apart is a Divergent Plate Boundary
What happen when crust slides past each other?
its called a transform boundary
What is the area where two tectonic plates called?
Plate boundaries.
