Question

Which statement describes transform boundaries?

Rift valleys are formed.
Mountains are created.
Faults form in the lithosphere.
Plates move toward each other.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A rift valley is a linear shaped lowland between several highlands or mountain ranges created by the action of a geologic rift or fault. A rift valley is formed on a divergent plate boundary, a crustal extension or spreading apart of the surface, which is subsequently further deepened by the forces of erosion.Natural phenomena such as earthquakes, mountain formation, and volcanoes occur at plate boundaries. Mountains are usually formed at what are called convergent plate boundaries, meaning a boundary at which two plates are moving towards one another. This type of boundary eventually results in a collision.

Answer 2

Statement faults form in the lithosphere describes transform boundaries.

• A fault along a plate boundary when the motion is primarily horizontal is referred to as a transform fault or transform boundary. It comes to an abrupt conclusion when it joins with another plate boundary, which could be a spreading ridge, a subduction zone, or another transform. A strike-slip fault that also creates a plate boundary is a specific instance of a transform fault.
• The majority of these faults are situated in the oceanic crust, where they accommodate the lateral offset between segments of divergent boundaries, resulting in a zigzag pattern. This is due to oblique seafloor spreading, in which the motion is not parallel to the general divergent boundary's trend.
• There are fewer of these faults on land, although they are typically more well-known, including the San Andreas Fault and North Anatolian Fault.

Hence, the answer is faults form in the lithosphere.
