SOLAR SYSTEM

Detailed explanation-1: -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.

Detailed explanation-2: -A divergent boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move away from each other. Along these boundaries, earthquakes are common and magma (molten rock) rises from the Earth’s mantle to the surface, solidifying to create new oceanic crust.

Detailed explanation-3: -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-4: -Transform boundaries are created when tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally along strike-slip faults or transform faults. Strike-slip faults are large cracks or fractures in the Earth’s crust where the transform boundary movement occurs.

Detailed explanation-5: -Most of the earthquakes are located along the transform faults, rather than along the spreading segments, although there are clusters of earthquakes at some of the ridge-transform boundaries.
