Question

Many earthquakes occur near mid-ocean ridges but do not destroy or form new crust. Instead, plates slip past each other.

Which kind of boundary is found at these earthquake locations?

transform boundary between two ocean plates

transform boundary between two continental plates

O convergent boundary between two ocean plates

O convergent boundary between two continental plates

Answer 1

A. transform boundary between two ocean plates

Answer 2

Transform boundary between two ocean plates

Step-by-step explanation:

A boundary is where two plates meet. There are four plate boundaries and they are convergent plate boundary, divergent, conservative and transform boundary.

The above question answer s transform plate boundary between two ocean plates since it occur near mid ocean ridges.

The transform boundary occur where plates slide over each other. The plates move horizontality and they can occur under water or land.

In this type of boundary, crust is not destroy or formed . The plates cannot glide past each other because of the forces of friction that is acting on it. Rather, stress builds up in both plates and when it exceeds the threshold of the rocks, it lead to release of energy which result in earthquakes
