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 is the boundary when two plates slide against each other?
The boundary where two plates slide against each other is called a transform plate boundary. At this boundary, the plates are sliding past each other horizontally. Transform boundaries are characterized by frequent earthquakes due to the intense friction between the plates.
What can happen when 2 plates slide against each other?
an earthquake
Why do you think the plates began to slip against each other laterally 30 million years ago?

How does a mountain range form?
Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).
What is a contiental boundary?
when the plates get against each other
What are the three main plate boundries?
Divergent, convergent, and transform. transform boundary is when plates slide against each other. Convergent is when plates collide and push against each other, and divergent is when plates pull apart.

Do faults cause earthquakes?
no. the plates pushing against each other do.
What can happen when 2 plates slide against each other?
an earthquake
Do convergent plates move away from each other?
they move against one another

How do Japan get earthquake?
The tectonic plates near it rubbed against each other.
What Are Plates Sliding Against Each Other Called?
Plates sliding against each other are called transform boundaries. These boundaries are marked by horizontal motion, leading to earthquakes. An example of this boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
Why do tectonic plates move against each other?
Tectonic plates move against each other due to the convection currents in the Earth's mantle that drive plate motion. As these currents push plates in different directions, they can collide, slide past, or move away from one another along plate boundaries. This movement results in the creation of features like mountains, earthquakes, and volcanic activity.

Is form when two plates collide; is caused by the force pushing against each other (the plates).
