When a plate boundary changes its orientation, it can change from:

A) a spreading center to a transform fault
B) a transform fault to a spreading center
C) a transform fault to a subduction zone
D) all of these
E) none of these

Plate Boundary

The edges where two tectonic plates meet, which can be categorized into convergent, divergent, or transform boundaries based on their movement relative to each other.

Spreading Center

Divergent boundary where two oceanic plates move apart (diverge).

Transform Fault

A geological fault where the movement of the Earth's crust is predominantly horizontal, often leading to earthquakes in these regions.
