What is a transform boundary?
Back
A transform boundary is a tectonic plate boundary where two plates slide past each other horizontally, often causing earthquakes.
6.
FLASHCARD QUESTION

What is the primary result of transform boundaries?
Back
Transform boundaries mainly result in earthquakes due to the friction between sliding plates.

FLASHCARD QUESTION
Front
What is subduction?
Back
Subduction is the process where one tectonic plate is forced under another, often leading to volcanic activity and the formation of deep ocean trenches.
