Question 19
The fault shown (likely the San Andreas Fault) is a transform boundary, where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. Transform boundaries are characterized by lateral (side - to - side) movement of plates, and this is the type of motion associated with faults like the San Andreas, which is formed by the interaction of the North American and Pacific plates sliding past one another.
The fault in the map (San Andreas - like) is formed by the interaction of the North American Plate and the Pacific Plate. These two plates move horizontally past each other along this fault, which is a transform boundary.
