Transform fault boundaries happen at the site where two tectonic plates move past each other in opposite directions. The two plates will grind past each other, breaking off pieces of crust from the plates. The plates can get caught on each other and pressure will build up until a break develops and the plates will lurch forward.

What is the place where two tectonic plates slide past each other other horizontally?
That is a Strike-slip fault. This type of plate boundary is a relatively conservative boundary because the plates moves side by side horizontally causing little or no destruction of old plates or creation of new plates, but only causes a kind of boundary known as a Transform Boundary. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas fault, in California, USA North America.
What fault occurs at a divergent boundary?
The type of fault that generally occurs at a divergent boundary is a strike-slip fault. It is also referred to as a transform fault.

What type of plate boundary is San Francisco on?
conservative. but sanfrancisco is actually on a transform fault not a boundary. the fault is a result of the boundary between the north American and pacific plates.
What occurs at a transform boundary?
