Transform faults are strike-slip faults that occur at the boundary between two plates of the earth's crust and do not produce or destroy lithosphere. Divergent faults produce new sea floor, while convergent faults occur when two plates collide underneath and create underground mountains.

Which type of plate boundary is associated with the San Andreas Fault?
It is on a transform fault boundary.
What type of plate boundary forms where two plates slide past one another?
That is called a boundary or a transform-fault boundary. :D
The type of boundary in which two plates slip past each other is a boundary?
traverse fault
What is the difference between a transform and a transverse fault?
A transform fault is a general term to describe a plate boundary where the lithosphere is not destroyed or created. A transverse fault is a type of transform fault also known as a strike-slip fault.
The San Andreas fault is what type of plate motion?
The San Andreas fault is a right-lateral (dextral) strike-slip fault which marks a transform (or sliding) boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. In essence the plate boundary is destructive rather than constructive but at present the energy is directed at moving the Pacific Plate in a generally northerly direction, parallel with the coastline.

What type of plate boundary is the queen charlotte fault?
It is a transform plate boundary.

What plate boundary type is the San Andreas fault?
A transform boundary.
What type of plate boundary is the dead sea fault zone on?
The Dead Sea fault zone is located on a Transform boundary.
At what type of plate boundary are strike-slip faults found near?
A certain type of strike-slip fault is found at a transform plate boundary.
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.
The type of boundary in which two plates slip past each other is a boundary?
traverse fault

What type of plate boundary forms earthquake?
earthquakes indicate both convergent,divergent and transform fault plate boundaries
