Question 3 • 2026-27 AL-Earth and Space Science

Which statement describes transform boundaries?

Answer
A
Rift valleys are formed.
B
Mountains are created.
C
Faults form in the lithosphere.
D
Plates move toward each other.

Explanation

At a transform boundary, two tectonic plates slide horizontally past one another. This motion creates faults in the lithosphere, so “Faults form in the lithosphere” is correct. Rift valleys usually form where plates move apart, and plates moving toward each other describes a convergent boundary.
