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: -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.
