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 plate boundary occurs when two plates slide past each other, horizontally. A well-known transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault, which is responsible for many of California’s earthquakes.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transform Plate Boundaries are locations where two plates slide past one another. The fracture zone that forms a transform plate boundary is known as a transform fault. Most transform faults are found in the ocean basin and connect offsets in the mid-ocean ridges.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transform boundaries on the continents include the San Andreas fault in California, the North Anatolian fault in Turkey, the Alpine fault in New Zealand, and, by some definitions, the Altyn Tagh and Red River faults in Asia.

Detailed explanation-5: -Transform faults are one of the three major types of plate boundaries and can be divided into two groups: continental and oceanic transform faults.
