GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Divergent boundaries–where new crust is generated as the plates pull away from each other. Convergent boundaries–where crust is destroyed as one plate dives under another. Transform boundaries–where crust is neither produced nor destroyed as the plates slide horizontally past each other.

Detailed explanation-2: -Lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed along transform boundaries which connect segments of spreading oceanic ridges and other plate boundaries.

Detailed explanation-3: -The grinding action between the plates at a transform plate boundary results in shallow earthquakes, large lateral displacement of rock, and a broad zone of crustal deformation. Perhaps nowhere on Earth is such a landscape more dramatically displayed than along the San Andreas Fault in western California.

Detailed explanation-4: -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. A well-known example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
