What else can I help you with?
What is a fault the science kind?
crack in earths crust where two plates are sliding past each other
Which of earths faults has a shearing force?
Transform faults have a shearing force where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can result in earthquakes as the plates grind against one another. An example of a well-known transform fault is the San Andreas Fault in California.
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.
Why are mountains and earthquakes two geologic features found on earths surface that are caused by the movement of crustal plates?
They are geologic features because when the crustal plates move its makes cracks on earth the the mountains are one because everytime the crustal plates move it breaks the earths surface and the dirt and rocks start gathering together
What is the boundary when two plates slide against each other?
The boundary where two plates slide against each other is called a transform plate boundary. At this boundary, the plates are sliding past each other horizontally. Transform boundaries are characterized by frequent earthquakes due to the intense friction between the plates.
What kind of movement occurs when the earths plates push against each other?
earthquake
What creates a volcano?
earthquakes in the earths core rubbing togetherTectonic plates move and collide against each other.
What term describes areas where the earths plates move against each other and produce earthquakes?
fault lines
What is the effect of two plates sliding against each other in opposite directions?
earth quakes
Where and when do earthquakes mostly occur?
They mostly occur when the tectonic plates in the earths systems rub against each other and they mostly occur in California.
Do volcanoes erupt when earths plates move?
Well, when earths plates move away from each other that's when it happens but move well then NO!
What occurs on faults?
The tectonic plates underneath the earths crust are moving, and these plates crash into, and slide against each other. These places where the plates meet are called fault lines. Since the plates are constantly moving, there is a lot of pressure between the plates, and eventually, it needs to be released in the form of an earthquake.
What causes the damage of earthquakes?
earths plates scraping each other
Where do earths's plates slide past each other?
In a divergent plate boundary
What causes earths changes to earths landforms?
the tectonic platesthe tectonic plates can be move to be far and near to each other
Would you expect many earthquakes to happen along the ring of fire?
Actually i found the answer. A lot of earths plates are found there and they rub against each other a causing earthquakes.
Where do earths plates slide past each each other?
In a divergent plate boundary
