Detailed explanation-1: -Among the given four options, the correct answer is OPTION (4): Earthquake and fault line. The spot where the tectonic plates slide past each other in a horizontal manner is known as a transform plate boundary.
Detailed explanation-2: -Transform boundaries typically produce large, shallow-focus earthquakes. Although earthquakes do occur in the central regions of plates, these regions do not usually have large earthquakes.
Detailed explanation-3: -The majority of transform faults link the offset segments of oceanic ridges. However, transform faults also occur between plate margins with continental crust-for example, the San Andreas Fault in California and the North Anatolian fault system in Turkey.
Detailed explanation-4: -1 Answer. Divergent boundaries shield volcanos and rift valleys.
