Answer 2

Plates slide past one another at transform boundaries.

Tectonic Plates:

• Tectonic plates also referred to as plates are part of Earth`s crust and upper mantle.

• There are currently 7 major tectonic plates.

Transform Fault Boundary:

• When continental or oceanic plates slide past each other, a transform fault boundary is created.

• This creates cracks inside the Earth's crust through which magma may rise to the upper surface.

• These plates movements give rise to earthquakes along these boundaries.
