Which statements describe transform boundaries? check all that apply. (there is more than one correct answer.)

rift valleys are formed.
mountains are created.
faults form in the lithosphere.
plates move toward each other.
plates slide in opposite directions.

The correct answers are:

- Faults form in the lithosphere;

- Plates slide in opposite directions;

The transform plate boundaries are plate boundaries where the two or more plates are sliding past each other, moving in opposite directions. Because of the sliding, a lot of pressure is created on the plate boundary, so the earthquakes are a common occurrence. Also, something that is a characteristic of this type of plate boundary are the faults, to be more specific, transform faults. The transform faults are parallel to the plate boundary, and it can be a single one, or multiple faults parallel to one another. Their depth also can vary, from few meters to several tens of meters, or even more.

•there must be variation for the particular trait within a population.

•the variation must be inheritable (that is, it must be capable of being passed on from the parents to their offspring).

•individuals with one version of the trait must produce more offspring than those with a different version of the trait.good
