Choose ONE plate boundary on the diagram below and use the chosen plate boundary to answer the following questions: The chosen plate boundary is between the _____ plate and the _____ plate. a) Describe the type of plate boundary chosen and the movement that occurs at this boundary.
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to choose a plate boundary from the provided diagram and describe the specific type of boundary, along with the movements that occur at that boundary.
Answer
Pacific plate and North American plate; transform boundary with lateral movement.
The chosen plate boundary is between the Pacific plate and the North American plate. This is a transform plate boundary, where the plates slide past each other horizontally.
Answer for screen readers
The chosen plate boundary is between the Pacific plate and the North American plate. This is a transform plate boundary, where the plates slide past each other horizontally.
More Information
Transform boundaries, like the San Andreas Fault, often cause earthquakes due to the stress of horizontal movements.
Tips
Avoid confusing transform boundaries with divergent or convergent ones, which involve vertical movement.
