The movement of tectonic plates in two locations is described below:

Location B: Tectonic plates slide past each other

Which statement is most likely true?

Earthquakes may occur in both locations.
Volcanic eruptions may occur in both locations.
Earthquakes may occur in location A but not in location B.

Sagot :

I’m gonna say A.

Explanation: When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed. No new crust is created or subducted, and no volcanoes form, but earthquakes occur along the fault.
