CONSERVATIVE PLATE MARGINS (TRANSFORM FAULTS): When two plates slide past each other they create a conservative plate margin. The relative movement is horizontal‚ and classified as either sinistral (moving to the left) or dextral (moving to the right). Along these margins crust (lithosphere) is not being destroyed by subduction‚ neither is it being created. There is no melting of rock‚ and‚ therefore‚ no volcanic activity or formation of new crust.

. When I decided to write this paper about the ruins of The Great Zimbabwe‚ I first chose it because I had never heard of it‚ and second‚ architecture interests me more than most other art history subjects.
