GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The zone between two plates sliding horizontally past one another is called a transform-fault boundary, or simply a transform boundary.

Detailed explanation-2: -Plate Boundaries Convergent Boundaries-A convergent boundary is where two tectonic plates push together. Sometimes one plate will move under the other. This is called subduction. Although the movement is slow, convergent boundaries can be areas of geological activity such as the forming of mountains and volcanoes.

Detailed explanation-3: -A transform fault or transform boundary, is a fault along a plate boundary where the motion is predominantly horizontal. It ends abruptly where it connects to another plate boundary, either another transform, a spreading ridge, or a subduction zone.

Detailed explanation-4: -Plate boundaries are always faults, but not all faults are plate boundaries. The movement of the plates relative to each other distorts the crust in the region of the boundaries creating systems of earthquake faults. There are also major faults and systems of faults in the interiors of plates.
