Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transform plate boundaries can connect various combinations of geological features, including spreading ridges (where tectonic plates are moving apart) and subduction zones (where one plate moves under another). They can connect a spreading ridge to a subduction zone, two spreading ridges, or two subduction zones, allowing for lateral movement of the plates alongside each other. This versatility in connections is what makes transform boundaries unique in the way they accommodate plate movement.
