This picture shows two plates
sliding past one another. This
is what type of boundary?
A. a transform fault.
B. a divergent boundary.
C. a convergent boundary,
A transform fault boundary occurs when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This type of boundary is characterized by shear stress and lateral movement along a fault line. Transform boundaries are commonly associated with earthquakes, as the plates are locked together and release energy when they finally slip past each other. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known example of a transform fault boundary.
