Question

describing plate boundaries
map of north american plate, pacific plate, south american plate with a circled area on the boundary of north american plate and pacific plate
what happens in the circled area?
○ creation of crust
○ process of subduction
○ formation of volcanoes
○ occurrence of earthquakes

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

The circled area shows the Pacific Plate and North American Plate sliding past each other, which is a transform boundary. Transform boundaries are primarily associated with frequent earthquake activity as plates grind against one another. Subduction, crust creation, and volcano formation are linked to convergent and divergent boundaries, not this transform setting.

Answer:

occurrence of earthquakes
