Question

A local official wants to have a new highway built over a transform boundary. Why is this a bad idea?

Answer 1

This is a bad idea because there would be a lot of earthquakes there that could destroy the highway and harm the people that are driving on the highway in the process.

Explanation:

In a transform boundary, 2 plates are sliding together which can cause earthquakes. If someone was to build something under it, it would be completely destroyed because of the earthquakes.

Answer 2

It is a place that is inclined to earthquakes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Building a highway over a transform boundary is not recommendable, as it could be very dangerous. This area is very prone to earthquakes and it can destroy the highway. This is not only dangerous for the highway, it's very dangerous for people as it can cause death. The infrastructure would be demolished.
