Answer 2

Answer;

San Andreas fault

A well-known transform boundary found in California is the San Andreas fault.

Explanation;

The San Andreas Fault is the most famous fault in the world.The San Andreas Fault is a place where two tectonic plates touch, the North American and Pacific Plates. The plates are rigid (or almost rigid) slabs of rock that comprise the crust and upper mantle of the Earth. It is about 700 miles long as the crow flies and about 800 miles long when its curves are measured.

-A fault is a planar crack in a rock along which slippage has taken place. Most faults are small; even microscopic; and are not important. Some faults are many miles long.

-Faults can be classified according to which of the three directions of space the rocks on either side move. When the motion is predominantly vertical, they are called dip slip faults. Dip slip faults with dips less than 45 degrees are called thrust faults.
