Question

which geologic event is common near the san andreas fault? choose 1 answer: a mountain building and eruptions are associated with this transform boundary. b earthquakes are associated with this transform boundary. c sea - floor spreading and rift valleys are associated with this transform boundary. d volcanic eruptions are associated with this convergent boundary. related content plate tectonics: geological features of convergent plate boundaries

Explanation:

The San Andreas fault is a transform - plate boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement causes stress to build up, which is released as earthquakes. Mountain building and eruptions are more common at convergent boundaries, sea - floor spreading occurs at divergent boundaries, and the San Andreas is not a convergent boundary.

Answer:

B. Earthquakes are associated with this transform boundary.
