Question

which plate boundary is characterized by high seismic activity due to sliding movements?
question 16
convergent boundary
transform boundary
divergent boundary
subduction zone
choose a response

Explanation:

• Convergent Boundary: Plates collide, can cause subduction (not mainly sliding).
• Transform Boundary: Plates slide past each other, high seismic activity (e.g., San Andreas Fault).
• Divergent Boundary: Plates move apart (mid - ocean ridges, not sliding).
• Subduction Zone: Part of convergent boundary (one plate goes under another, not sliding).

Answer:

Transform Boundary
