a transform boundary is:
where 2 plates slide past each other,
happens at continental vs. oceanic plates
most famous example: The San Andreas Fault Line
Earthquakes can, and do, occur at divergent, convergent, and transform plate boundaries.
Transform boundaries do not produce volcanic activity.
Convergent and divergent boundaries melt rock in the upper mantle while transform boundaries do not. Convergent boundaries that involve at least one oceanic plate form subduction zones, where an oceanic plate plunges into the mantle. Volatiles carried into the mantle lower the melting point of the rock there, allowing magma to form.At divergent boundaries the crust becomes thinner. This reduces pressure on the upper mantle, thus lowering melting points and generating magma.Transform boundaries have no such means of producing magma.
Any type of plate boundary can cause an earthquake. That said, areas along convergent, divergent, and transform tectonic plate boundaries are the most likely places for earthquakes to occur.
They occur near ocean ridges. (Information is from BCScience10)
No. Volcanoes do not form at transform boundaries. Volcanic islands can form at convergent boundaries and at hot spots.
they form earthquakes
It creates earthquakes
two places where transform boundariesmay form are inm the ocean and on land
Transform, Divergent, and Convergent
A Transform Boundary, such as the San Andreas Fault
Transform, Divergent, and Convergent
they both form volcanoes and earthquakes
Transform, Divergent, and Convergent
They are common at transform boundaries because strike-slip faults move up and down like transform boundaries.
Rocks can form rift valleys and mountains.
Transform boundaries are locations where two plates slide past each other.
