A.
convergent plate boundary
B.
divergent plate boundary
C.
transform plate boundary
D.
subduction plate boundary
E.
stationary boundary

Answer 1

Answer:answer is C transform boundary

Explanation:

A transform fault or transform boundary is a fault along a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal. It ends abruptly where it connects to another plate boundary, either another transform, a spreading ridge, or a subduction zone.

Answer 2

The California plate boundary of North America is one of those boundaries that slide past each other in the left and right direction.

• The boundary is known as the transform boundary and is the reason for the origin of the San Andreas fault.

• A transform boundary is where the plate is neither created nor destroyed.
