Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Two plates sliding past each other forms a transform plate boundary. One of the most famous transform plate boundaries occurs at the San Andreas fault zone, which extends underwater. Natural or human-made structures that cross a transform boundary are offset-split into pieces and carried in opposite directions.
