What type of tectonic plates move in opposite but parallel directions along a fault line?

The plates with a transforming boundary. These will create different "landmarks" such as lakes (if the edges have a curve), valleys, rivers, and abandoned riverbeds.

When two tectonic plates slip past each other going in opposite directions a?
Continental Crust
Which type of boundaries do plates slide past?
Plates slide past each other at transform boundaries. These boundaries occur when two plates slide horizontally in opposite directions parallel to each other. The movement can be either in the same direction but at different speeds, or in opposite directions.
What boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart?
A divergent boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart. As the plates move away from each other, magma rises up to create new crust, resulting in features like mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on land.
What happens when two plates pull away from each other in opposite directions?
When any fault occurs or tectonic plates pull away from each other under the ground. An earthquake happens.
A transform fault boundary occurs where two plates what?
Transform fault boundaries happen at the site where two tectonic plates move past each other in opposite directions. The two plates will grind past each other, breaking off pieces of crust from the plates. The plates can get caught on each other and pressure will build up until a break develops and the plates will lurch forward.

What is the opposite of tectonic plates?
there is no opposite of tectonic plates, they are an item. That's like saying "What is the opposite of the human race. And no it isn't the 'animal race' ",See? There is no opposite that I, or probably anyone, knows about....yet

This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along a horizontal plane?
This describes a divergent boundary, where tectonic plates are moving away from each other along a horizontal plane. This movement typically leads to the formation of new crust as magma rises to fill the gap created by the moving plates.
Why did earthquakes and volcanoes happen?
Tectonic Plates are moving in all directions...

This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along horizontal plane?
This occurs when plates are pushed in opposite directions along a horizontal plane.
Where two plates move side by side?
Convergent Boundary.
Kind of boundary when two plates slide past each other?
A transform boundary. This is where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other in opposite directions. This movement can cause earthquakes along the boundary.
At a mid Ocean ridge how do the two tectonic plates move?
At a mid-ocean ridge, tectonic plates move apart from each other due to seafloor spreading. Magma rises up from the mantle, solidifies at the ridge, and forms new oceanic crust. This process pushes the plates away from each other, causing them to move in opposite directions.
