Question: 1 / 400

What type of boundary does the Earth’s crust have between two plates?

Transform

The Earth's crust has three types of boundaries divergent, convergent, and transform. A transform boundary occurs when two plates slide horizontally past each other. This type of boundary does not create or destroy crust, but it can result in earthquakes and tsunamis. Option B, distribute, does not accurately describe a boundary between two plates. Option C, subducting, refers to a type of convergent boundary where one plate sinks beneath the other, so it is not correct either. Option D, divergent, refers to a boundary where two plates move away from each other, so it is also not correct. Therefore, the correct answer is A.
