What would happen if two plates rubbed back and forth against each other?
If two tectonic plates rub back and forth against each other, they can create friction that builds up stress. This stress can eventually be released in the form of an earthquake when the plates suddenly slip past one another. The movement can also lead to the formation of mountain ranges or ocean trenches.
What can happen when 2 plates slide against each other?
an earthquake
Why do earth quake happen on fault lines?
Fault lines - are 'cracks' in the Earth's crust, which creates large 'plates'. The plates 'float' on the magma under the surface - allowing them to move. When these plates rub against each other - it causes earthquakes.
What will happen if two plates crashed into each other?
If two plates crashed into each other two possible things can happen: 1 The plates bump into each other and can cause an earthquake. 2 The plates crash, then they go upwards to form a mountain or a volcano. ~Doraexplorer
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 would happen if tectonic plates glided against each other?
A small earthquake
What would happen when two titanic plates rub against each other?
nothing?
What would happen if two plates started to pushing against each other?
nothing
Where do earthquakes rarley happen?
in michigan since our plates do not push against each other because of weather.
Why did the eartquake in japan happen?
The same reason any earthquake happens, tectonic plates shifted against each other.
Do earthquakes only happen where plates converge?
no, earthquakes mainly happen when two plates crash each other or one plates goes under the other.
How does earthquakes happen in japan?
Like anywhere else, the earthquakes in Japan were caused by tectonic plates sliding against each other.
Why do most earthquakes happen at the plates?
Most earthquakes happen at the plates because the plates (continental plates) sometimes move. If it moves and slides against another one going the other way, the plates' connecting part will tremble and shake and fall apart. It starts like this: 1. The plates start to move. The land between, roads, and other things bend. 2. The plates suddenly break, and some of the roads get carried away, so everything falls apart.
