Q. The figure below shows the triple junction between three plates A, B and C. The boundary between the plates A and B is a ridge with a half-spreading rate of 4 cm/year. The A-C and B-C boundaries are collinear and orthogonal to the A-B ridge. The A-C boundary is a dextral transform fault with a relative velocity of 6 cm/year. The boundary between plates B and C is a

A. dextral transform fault with a relative velocity of 10 cm/year.

B. dextral transform fault with a relative velocity of 2 cm/year.

C. sinistral transform fault with a relative velocity of 2 cm/year.

D. sinistral transform fault with a relative velocity of 6 cm/year.

Ans: sinistral transform fault with a relative velocity of 2 cm/ year.
