At which type of plate boundary do tectonic plates slide past each other?

The answer would be conservative plate boundaries.

They occur where plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or in the same direction but at different speeds. Friction is eventually overcome and the plates slip past in a sudden movement. The shockwaves created produce an earthquake.

I hope this helped and is correct! :)

Answer:

Option (4)

Explanation:

Plate motion takes place due to the generation of the convection current in the mantle. This mechanism forces the lithospheric crusts to move over the asthenosphere layer. This plate motion takes place in three ways-

1) <u>Divergent plate motion</u>- here, the two plates move in the opposite direction.

2) <u>Convergent plate motion</u>- here, the two plates move towards each other.

3) <u>Transform plate motion</u>- here, the <u>two plates slide past each other</u>. This type of plate boundary is also known as the <u>conservative plate boundary</u> as in this type of plate boundary, the plates are neither destroyed nor created. There occurs the conservation of plate boundary. Shallow-focus earthquakes are generated due to this type of plate motion.

Thus the correct answer is option (4).

Answer: i believe it is mutation

Explanation: An insertion mutation occurs when an extra nucleotide is added to the DNA strand during replication. This can happen when the replicating strand "slips," or wrinkles, which allows the extra nucleotide to be incorporated (Figure 2). Strand slippage can also lead to deletion mutations.
