Question
the san andreas fault in california is the perfect example of what happens when two plates slide past one another. what type of plate boundary is this describing? (1 point) transform boundary convergent boundary divergent boundary subduction boundary
A transform boundary is where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well - known example of this type of boundary. Convergent boundaries involve plates moving towards each other (e.g., one plate being forced under another in subduction), divergent boundaries are where plates move apart (e.g., mid - ocean ridges), and subduction is a process that occurs at convergent boundaries. Since the description is about plates sliding past one another, it fits the definition of a transform boundary.
