Question

question 10 of 15
a ______ fault generally occurs at a transform boundary.

a. strike - slip
b. thrust
c. normal
d. reverse

Explanation:

Transform boundaries are where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. Strike - slip faults are characterized by horizontal movement of rock blocks along the fault plane, which matches the movement at transform boundaries. Thrust, normal, and reverse faults are associated with convergent or divergent boundaries (involving vertical or oblique movement due to compression or tension), not transform boundaries.

Answer:

A. strike - slip
