Transform plate boundaries are marked by?

A transform plate boundary shears horizontally against each other. When one crust moves up, the other one moves down. A transform plate boundary produces the second worst earthquakes with (S) waves (Shear or secondary waves). Every boundary including a transform plate boundary are located on a fault.


Which type of plate boundary involves two plates sliding alongside one another?

A transform plate boundary involves two plates sliding alongside one another horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes and create features like strike-slip faults. An example of this boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.


What is oceanic -oceanic convergent boundary?

These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.


What is an example of a divergent plate boundary and a transform plate boundary?

An example of a divergent plate boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate are moving apart. An example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California, where the Pacific Plate and North American Plate are sliding past each other horizontally.


If two geologic plates are sliding past each other they are at what boundary?

Transform boundary is when the plates are sliding past each other: ↑ ↓; Divergent is when plates are sliding away from each other: ← →; and convergent is when plates are sliding towards each other: → ←. Those are the three main plate boundaries.

At which plate boundary is one lithospheric plate sliding under another?

The kind of plate boundary where one lithospheric plate slides under another is a convergent boundary. This process is called subduction.


What is is the subduction zone?

A collisional plate boundary along which one lithospheric plate overrides another and produces a deep-sea trench, a volcanic arc, and seismicity.

These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.


What is the process of the lithospheric plate descending under another?

Subduction.


What does a sliding boundary do?

It is where one plate slides past another plate, rubbing against it. One slides right, the other left. An example would be North America. Your Welcome.


Was the haiti earthquake on a conservative plate boundary?

Yes it is, due to the force of the plate sliding by each other.


What is convergent plate boundary and what are the plates doing?

A convergent plate boundary is a place where tectonic plates are moving together. The plates are sliding across the the plastic asthenosphere.


What is oceanic -oceanic convergent boundary?

These are zones/areas where two lithospheric plates, involving an oceanic and a continental plate collide.
