The correct answer is "fault". A transform plate boundary is where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, creating a transform fault.

Divergent boundaries moving away from each other cause the weathering of rocks in the area which leads to erosion.

The movement of tectonic plates is so fast that mountains are able to form within a few years.
The movement of tectonic plates is so fast that mountains are able to form within a few years.
The mantle under the tectonic plates is constantly moving and stops constructive forces from acting too quickly.

The correct answer is "Constructive forces and destructive mechanisms in the natural world build up and take away from natural formations." The unique and diverse range of natural formations is a result of various constructive forces like volcanic activity, sediment deposition, tectonic uplift, and erosion, and destructive mechanisms like weathering, landslides, and erosion, that shape and reshape the Earth's surface over millions of years.
