GEOLOGY

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: -Transform faults are one of the three major types of plate boundaries and can be divided into two groups: continental and oceanic transform faults.

Detailed explanation-3: -The grinding action between the plates at a transform plate boundary results in shallow earthquakes, large lateral displacement of rock, and a broad zone of crustal deformation.
