4. What do we call a boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally?
transform fault boundary

28. What structural building feature uses a central keystone to distribute weight downward and support heavy stone domes?
true arch
A true arch distributes the weight of a heavy structure downward and outward onto supports, allowing builders to construct large open doorways and domes.
29. Which economic sector includes activities like farming, fishing, and mining that directly exploit natural resources?
