Question
plate tectonics: transform fault boundarie 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.
At transform - fault boundaries, when plates overcome friction, stress is suddenly released. This energy release is manifested as earthquakes. New oceanic crust is formed at divergent boundaries, and plates don't reverse direction when overcoming friction at transform - fault boundaries.
