What happens when plates separate from each other?
Ridges, called spreading centers, happen where two plates move away from each other. As the plates separate, molten mantle material (magma/melted rock) flows up to fill the void.
Where do Most earthquakes happen at the edge of?
Most earthquakes happen at the edge of tectonic plates, where the plates are colliding or sliding past each other. These areas are known as plate boundaries, and the stress and friction from the movement of the plates can lead to earthquakes.
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.
