Question

Describe transform boundaries and include an example of what happens at those boundaries.

Answer 1

Explanation:

A transform boundary is a boundary in which two plates slides past on another. The plate motion is parallel and in a strike-slip format.

• Along such margins, series of earthquake activities are prominent.
• There is no creation or destruction of the lithosphere at these margins.
• Most of the rocks in these margins pulverized as the plate moves past one another.
• Also, the shear movement is pronounced at such margins.
• The San Andreas fault line is typical example of transform margin.
