Detailed explanation-1: -When oceanic or continental plates slide past each other in opposite directions, or move in the same direction but at different speeds, a transform fault boundary is formed. No new crust is created or subducted, and no volcanoes form, but earthquakes occur along the fault.

Detailed explanation-2: -A transform boundary causes a fault between two plates of the lithosphere, which will slide past one another. This motion does not create or destroy crust and will cause earthquakes, but no volcanoes.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tectonic boundary that is the result of two tectonic plates sliding past each other is called a transform boundary or a transform fault. The San Andreas fault is one well-known transform boundary. It is formed where two major plates, the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, slide past each other.
