Question

a. In the event of two plates coming together they may either collide and crumble, or

one may slide under the other. At times they may also move ___________ past each

other and form transform boundary.​

Answer 1

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. The transform fault boundaries connect spreading centers and subduction zones, which are the other elements of the jigsaw puzzle of the Earth’s plates.
