Answer:

transform

Step-by-step explanation:

The type of plate boundary associated with sliding or shear forces is a transform plate boundary.

Two or more plates slides laterally past one another due to presence of shear forces acting on them.

  • In this margin, there is often an occurrence of earthquake.
  • For a divergent margin, plates move apart and away from one another.
  • This leads to the creation or formation of new crusts.
  • At a convergent margin, two plates collides, a plate can subduct under another or both can become uplifted.
  • Tectonic margins are known for their various activities.
