Question
transform fault boundaries involve the movement of tectonic plates in which direction? parallel to each other in opposite directions towards each other away from each other
Transform - fault boundaries are a type of tectonic plate boundary. At these boundaries, the plates slide past each other. When two plates move parallel to each other but in opposite directions, it is characteristic of transform - fault boundaries. When plates move towards each other, it is a convergent boundary, and when they move away from each other, it is a divergent boundary.
