Question 18 • LPISD Earth Systems A - CR

Which type of basin forms at transform boundaries?

Answer
A
rift
B
wedge
C
arc
D
strike-slip

Explanation

Transform boundaries are places where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other. This motion can create a strike-slip basin, especially where bends or offsets in the fault pull the crust apart and make room for a basin to form. Therefore, the correct choice is the strike-slip basin.
