Question

At a transform fault boundary,_____.

A.New continental crust is formed
B.lithosphere is neither destroyed nor produced
C.Oceanic lithosphere is destroyed
D.New oceanic crust is formed

Answer 1

Transform Fault Boundaries Between Plates. Tectonic plates grind past each other at transform fault boundaries. Neither production nor consumption of lithosphere occurs at these boundaries. For U.S. residents, the most famous example is the San Andreas fault in California.

Answer 2

B.lithosphere is neither destroyed nor produced

Step-by-step explanation:

Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past each other. One plate is forced below another in a process which is called subduction. Many transform boundaries are found on the sea floor, where they connect segments of diverging mid-ocean ridges. In this process, lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed so B is the correct option.
