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: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -The tectonic boundary that is the result of two tectonic plates sliding past each other is called a transform boundary or a transform fault. The San Andreas fault is one well-known transform boundary. It is formed where two major plates, the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, slide past each other.
