Answer:
When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed. No new crust is created or subducted, and no volcanoes form, but earthquakes occur along the fault.
Explanation:
<span>Faults that are undergoing movement (i.e. displacement of rock
strata) that is essentially horizontal in direction and parallel to the strike
of the fault surface are called Strike-slip faults. </span>Other names for Strike-slip faults<span> are transcurrent faults, wrench
faults, or lateral faults.</span>
Answer:
B. intrusion of magma into fractions
Explanation:
A pluton is a type of rock that is formed when magma cools and solidifies underground, they are an intrusive igneous rock (forced into other layers of rock), usually in cracks. The three main types of pluton are bysmalith (cylindrical), lopolith (mushroom-shaped), and laccolith (blister-shaped).
Because magma is under high pressure and takes a long time to cool, it allows time for the formation of large crystals. Therefore, plutonic rocks have coarse-grained crystals that come in many different colors and sizes. A good example is granite.
<em>Considering this information we can conclude that pluton is not manmade rock, they come in different sizes (not only large) so the correct answer is B. intrusion of magma into fractions. </em>
I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
<span>B. lagoons
Coastal lagoons are created when the sea level is rising to the coast, however they do not form on steep slopes or rocky terrain. Coastal lagoons are also where barrier reefs are formed, sectioning it off from the sea. They're sensitive to the tides coming in, if the tides recede too much then the lagoon is left dry, however if the tide comes in too much then the water can break the reef and engulf the lagoon.</span>
