Question

where does shearing often occur?
o along a normal fault
o along a reverse fault
o at a transform boundary
o at a divergent boundary

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Shearing is a type of stress where rocks slide past each other horizontally. Transform boundaries are where two tectonic - plates slide horizontally past one another, resulting in shearing forces. Normal faults are associated with tensional stress, reverse faults with compressional stress, and divergent boundaries with tensional stress as plates move apart.

Answer:

at a transform boundary
