When the plates slide past each other, it releases a shock wave, either a p-wave or an s-wave, and it spreads out in all directions. Sometimes it causes earthquakes.

What is a continental slide?
A continental slide is the new crust on the earth surface. It happens when two plates below the earth surfaces meets and the boundary became deep trenches.
When two tectonic plates slide past each other what happens to the crust of these plates?
When two tectonic plates slide past each other, they can create friction along the plate boundary. This friction can cause the plates to stick momentarily, leading to stress being built up. When the stress is released, it can result in an earthquake as the plates suddenly move past each other.
What occurs at a transform boundary?
At a transform boundary, two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions. This movement can result in earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. Transform boundaries do not typically involve the creation or destruction of crust, but rather the lateral movement of existing crust.
What happens at a transform fault boundary?
At a transform fault boundary, two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. There is no creation or destruction of crust at this type of boundary.
When tectonic plates collide the Earth's crust forms?
When tectonic plates collide they often form volcanoes or moutains. But when they slide past each other they create earthquakes...like in Haiti or Japan.
What happens when the two plates slide past each other deep inside the Earth's crust?
An earthquake.
What happens to plates when they slide underneath each other?
earthquake.
Is the crust destroyed or formed in transform boundary?
Niether. At a transform boundary, plates slide past each other, and crust is conserved.
What happens when earths crust doesn't move?
presure starts to build. when that pressure is released, it causes an earthquake. This only happens on a transform boundry beetween two plates, which is where they slide against each other.
What is a continental slide?
A continental slide is the new crust on the earth surface. It happens when two plates below the earth surfaces meets and the boundary became deep trenches.
What happens when plates scrape and slide past each other?
n vh
What layer are the plates sliding on?
The worlds tectonic plates slide on the earths mantle.
When two tectonic plates slide past each other what happens to the crust of these plates?
When two tectonic plates slide past each other, they can create friction along the plate boundary. This friction can cause the plates to stick momentarily, leading to stress being built up. When the stress is released, it can result in an earthquake as the plates suddenly move past each other.
What happens when crustal plates slide past each other?
When crustal plates slide past each other, they create faults along the plate boundaries. Friction between the plates can cause them to get stuck, leading to stress buildup. When this stress is released, it generates earthquakes.
How a earthquake begins?
It happens when two stressed plates slide pass each other
What happens when two plates slide?
there is faulting
Does breaks in the crust called faults form where plates meet?
Yes, faults are breaks in the Earth's crust where plates meet. These breaks allow movement to occur along the plate boundaries, resulting in earthquakes as the plates slide past each other.
