Question
what kind of plate boundary is the san andreas fault?
question 4
convergent boundary
divergent boundary
mid - ocean ridge
transform boundary
The San Andreas Fault is a well - known example of a transform boundary. At transform boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. The San Andreas Fault is located in California and is the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, where the plates move horizontally relative to each other. Convergent boundaries are where plates collide (one may be subducted), divergent boundaries are where plates move apart (like mid - ocean ridges where new crust is formed). Mid - Ocean Ridge is a feature of divergent boundaries.
