Question

A transform boundary occurs where two tectonic plates _____.

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

In a transform plate boundary, two plates slide past one another. There occurs no creation or destruction of plates. It can also considered they grinds along each other. They are also known as the conservative plate boundary. For example, the San Andreas fault, that shares a transform type of plate boundary.

Here, subduction does not take place and due to the rubbing of the two plates, the rocks are subjected to fracture and breaks due to the stress. It generates shallow focus earthquakes that can cause great damages.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

Answer 2

A transform boundary occurs where two tectonic plates grind along each other.
