________ are the visual effects which appear in PowerPoint when one slide…

Concept

In presentation software, a transition is the animated visual effect that plays as the display moves from one whole slide to the next. It governs how the upcoming slide enters the screen and replaces the current one. A transition acts on the slide as a unit, which is different from an effect applied to an individual object on a slide.

Application

The blank in the statement describes effects that occur "when one slide moves to the next slide" — that is, effects between slides during a slide show. PowerPoint collects exactly these slide-to-slide effects (for example Fade, Push, Wipe, Cut, and Morph) on a dedicated ribbon tab named for them, and they control the way the next slide appears as the presentation advances.

Contrast

• Slide Movements — not a defined PowerPoint feature name; it sounds descriptive but is not the term the software uses.

• Slide Effects — too broad and ambiguous: "effects" usually points to animations applied to text or objects within a single slide, not to the change between two slides.

• Slide Frames — "frames" refer to borders or layout placeholders, not to any motion or visual change occurring between slides.

Hence the blank is filled by the term that names the between-slide visual effects: Slide Transitions.
