Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
At which plate boundary is crust neither created nor destroyed?
A
divergent
B
convergentconvergent
C
transform
D
submerged
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Transform boundaries–where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -1. A transform boundary causes a fault between two plates of the lithosphere, which will slide past one another. This motion does not create or destroy crust and will cause earthquakes, but no volcanoes. A transform boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move past one another.

Detailed explanation-3: -In contrast to convergent and divergent boundaries, crust is cracked and broken at transform margins, but is not created or destroyed.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transform faults are one of the three major types of plate boundaries and can be divided into two groups: continental and oceanic transform faults.

Detailed explanation-5: -The third type of plate boundary occurs where tectonic plates slide horizontally past each other. This is known as a transform plate boundary. As the plates rub against each other, huge stresses can cause portions of the rock to break, resulting in earthquakes. Places where these breaks occur are called faults.
