GEOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -A transform fault is a plate boundary along which the relative motion between the two plates is parallel to the strike of the fault and is geometrically the arc of a small circle about the pole of rotation between two plates.

Detailed explanation-2: -A transform fault is a type of transform boundary called a strike-slip fault, where portions of the crust move past each other horizontally. Since no crust is created or destroyed at a transform fault, it is called a conservative boundary.

Detailed explanation-3: -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. A transform boundary occurs when two tectonic plates move past one another.

Detailed explanation-4: -This is known as a transform plate boundary. As the plates rub against each other, huge stresses can cause portions of the rock to break, resulting in earthquakes. Places where these breaks occur are called faults. A well-known example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
