Question

The North American plate and the Pacific plate are sliding past each other in opposite directions (at the San Andreas fault), this is called a ________________ boundary.

  1. Convergent    
  2. Transform    
  3. Divergent    
  4. Rift valley    

The correct answer is: Transform


    A transform plate boundary is created by two plates sliding past one another. The San Andreas fault zone, which spans under the ocean, is home to one of the most well-known transform plate borders.
