Detailed explanation-1: -Linear valleys, small ponds, stream beds split in half, deep trenches, and scarps and ridges often mark the location of a transform boundary.

Detailed explanation-2: -The broad zone of shearing at a transform plate boundary includes masses of rock displaced tens to hundreds of miles, shallow earthquakes, and a landscape consisting of long ridges separated by narrow valleys.

Detailed explanation-3: -Transform boundaries are places where plates slide sideways past each other. At transform boundaries lithosphere is neither created nor destroyed. Many transform boundaries are found on the sea floor, where they connect segments of diverging mid-ocean ridges. California’s San Andreas fault is a transform boundary.
