Question 8 • * FL-2001340-Environmental Science Sem 2

Which of the following is associated with plates sliding past each other?

Answer
A
rifts
B
subduction zones
C
faults
D
all of the above

Explanation

When tectonic plates slide horizontally past one another, they form a transform boundary. The movement commonly creates faults, where blocks of rock move along a fracture. Rifts form where plates pull apart, and subduction zones form where one plate sinks beneath another, so the correct choice is faults.
