complete the sentence.
the blanco fracture zone is the result of the pacific plate and the juan de fuca plate ______ each other.
moving away from sliding past moving toward

Explanation:

The Blanco Fracture Zone is a transform boundary. Transform boundaries occur where tectonic plates slide past each other. "Moving away from" is for divergent boundaries, and "moving toward" is for convergent boundaries. So the correct option related to the motion at a transform boundary is "sliding past".

Answer:

sliding past
