E)a convergent boundary becomes a divergent boundary

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transform boundaries are characterized by the horizontal movement of tectonic plates alongside each other, without significant vertical movement leading to pulling apart or colliding. This lateral movement is what differentiates transform boundaries from convergent (colliding) or divergent (pulling apart) boundaries.
