Question

which geologic event is common near the san andreas fault? choose 1 answer: a sea - floor spreading and rift valleys are associated with this transform boundary. b earthquakes are associated with this transform boundary. c volcanic eruptions are associated with this convergent boundary. d mountain building and eruptions are associated with this transform boundary.

Explanation:

The San Andreas fault is a transform - plate boundary. At transform boundaries, the most common geologic events are earthquakes as the tectonic plates slide past each other, causing stress to build up and then release. Sea - floor spreading and rift valleys are associated with divergent boundaries, volcanic eruptions and mountain building are more common at convergent boundaries.

Answer:

B. Earthquakes are associated with this transform boundary.
