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: -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-3: -At transform boundaries, plates move past each other. This is one of the most common causes of earthquakes. At convergent boundaries, plates move toward each other. They can push together and cause mountain ranges to form.

Detailed explanation-4: -1. 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-5: -The third type of plate boundary is the transform fault, where plates slide past one another without the production or destruction of crust. Because rocks are cut and displaced by movement in opposite direction, rocks facing each other on two sides of the fault are typically of different type and age.
