When 2 tectonic plates, 1 oceanic crust and 1 continental crust, meet the denser oceanic crust subducts beneath the continental crust. This allows for natural recycling.
Where was the transform boundary located on the worksheet?
West Coast of North America
Explain in detail how earthquakes occur and where humans feel them
Stress at a fault makes plates slip past each other, releasing energy as seismic waves. The focus is the point where the slip occurs and the epicenter on the surface is where humans feel it
