<h2>Answer:</h2>

<u>D. Shear stress</u> results when two plates slide past one another.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The two slide plate pass each other at the transform boundary. This shearing causes transform fault which may sometimes occur in fractured zones with different offsets or in deep-sea trenches in the subduction zone.

According to some research, the plate pull increases the concentration of shear stress creating a strike-slip fault and earthquakes on the transform fault. They are found in the deep ocean on the divergent boundary or on the margins of the plate tectonics on land margins. On land margins, the earthquake is the most destructive.

Describe what lines of latitude measure and what do lines of longitude measure?​
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Lines of latitude measure north-south position between the poles. Lines of latitude are all parallel to each other, thus they are often referred to as parallels.

Lines of longitude, or meridians, run between the North and South Poles. They measure east-west position. The prime meridian is assigned the value of 0 degrees, and runs through Greenwich, England. Meridians to the west of the prime meridian are measured in degrees west and likewise those to the east of the prime meridian are measured to by their number of degrees east.
