The correct answer is - transform.

The southwestern part of the United States is under the influence of a transform plate boundary. The small plate on which this part of the country lies is moving parallel to the much bigger North American continental plate.

With this movement, the plates move parallel to one another, creating a horizontal movement because of the horizontal pressure. Because of the movement, there's lot of adjustments happening deep into the crust, thus creating lot of earthquakes, as well as faults. Both the earthquakes and the faults are contributing to the damage on the infrastructure, most noticeably on the roads.

pashok25 [27]
A good way to earn money is to do what I do. I make bracelets and I go to markets and put them on display for 1$ for one bracelet. Or the package deal would be 10$ for ten bracelets. Or you can walk dogs, 5$ for each dog and walk. I've done both of these and I've gotten payed good money and have been good on this stuff. And good places to travel is all based on your personality.
