Question

what happens when plates overcome friction at a transform fault boundary? they reverse their direction of movement. they release energy typically in the form of earthquakes. they create new oceanic crust.

Explanation:

At a transform fault boundary, tectonic plates slide past each other. When friction is overcome, the built - up stress is released. This release of energy is typically in the form of earthquakes. Plates do not reverse their movement direction at transform faults, and new oceanic crust is created at divergent boundaries (like mid - ocean ridges), not transform fault boundaries.

Answer:

B. They release energy typically in the form of earthquakes.
