Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

  • The surface of the moon is secured with dead volcanoes, sway holes, and magma streams, some noticeable to the independent stargazer. Early researchers figured the dull stretches of the moon may be seas, thus named such highlights horse, which is Latin for "oceans"
  • According to the big Splash theory,  the Moon framed out of the trash left over from a crash among Earth and a galactic body the size of Mars, roughly 4.5 billion years prior, in the Hadean age; around 20 to 100 million years after the Solar system blended.

Read the scenario and then answer the question.


Elias is driving through the southwest part of the US on a road trip, and gets out of the car to go hiking. While hiking, he notes a very long channel running for miles in one direction. There are no distinct mountains nearby, and he is very far from the ocean. At lunch, the locals tell him there are lots of earthquakes in the area. He also thinks he sees an old road that used to cross the channel, but looks like it has been shifted apart somehow. He recalls what he learned about plate tectonics in class.


Given these clues, what type of plate boundary could Elias possibly be standing on or near?

The answer is: Transform
