Question
many earthquakes occur near mid - ocean ridges but do not destroy or form new crust. instead, plates slip past each other. which kind of boundary is found at these earthquake locations? transform boundary between two ocean plates transform boundary between two continental plates convergent boundary between two ocean plates convergent boundary between two continental plates
At transform boundaries, plates slide past each other. Mid - ocean ridges are in the ocean, so it's a transform boundary between two ocean plates. Convergent boundaries involve plates coming together, not sliding past.
