Question

what occurs at a transform boundary? select all that apply. the earthquake that occurs creates a transform fault which indicates the plates (and the lithosphere) on either side have moved in the same direction. the earthquake that occurs creates a transform fault which indicates the plates (and the lithosphere) on either side have moved in opposite directions. two plates are trying to slide past each other. the oceanic transform fault causes the break up of mid - ocean ridges. the oceanic transform fault causes the creation of mid - ocean ridges one plate is trying to go over another plate.

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

At a transform boundary, two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. Transform faults are associated with these boundaries. Mid - ocean ridges are related to divergent boundaries (where plates move apart), not transform boundaries. When plates move at a transform boundary, they move in opposite directions (not the same), and there is no subduction (one plate going over another) as in convergent boundaries.

Answer:

f. The earthquake that occurs creates a transform fault which indicates the plates (and the lithosphere) on either side have moved in opposite directions.
Two plates are trying to slide past each other.
