Question

what type of plate boundary neither creates or detroys crust?
convergent
transform
divergent

Explanation:

To determine the plate boundary that neither creates nor destroys crust, we analyze each type:

• Convergent boundaries: Plates collide, leading to subduction (crust destruction) or mountain - building (but still involves crustal changes with destruction in subduction cases).
• Divergent boundaries: Plates move apart, allowing magma to rise and create new crust (seafloor spreading or rift valleys, so crust is created).
• Transform boundaries: Plates slide past each other horizontally. There is no creation of new crust (like in divergent) or destruction of crust (like in convergent subduction zones). So transform boundaries neither create nor destroy crust.

Answer:

B. Transform
