What are strike-slip faults?
A transform boundary is when two plates slide past one another.
It goes under the other plate.
The denser oceanic plate slides under the less dense continental plate.
all of the above
They can collide, pull apart, or slide against each other.
the plates that make up the crust and the upper part of the mantle
convection currents
a boundary where rocks on opposite sides of the fault move in opposite or the same directions at dif
