Question

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

Explanation:

At transform - fault boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. When the plates overcome friction, stress is released. This released energy is typically manifested as earthquakes.

Answer:

They release energy typically in the form of earthquakes.
