when two plates are slide past one another an example is the san Andreas fault California which is the boundary between the north America and pacific plates
A transform boundary.
Haiti is an example of a transform boundary, because the left side of Haiti (where Port Au Prince is located) is the boundary of a tectonic plate that is sliding past another tectonic plate going in the other direction (Transform boundary). Because of this, a lot of tension builds up between the two plates, until an earthquake occurs when they slide past each other. (Keep in mind that tectonic plates move very little, and it took Pangea 250 million years to become what we see the world as now).Think, today (this is recent news as of January 20, 2010) when you turn on the news you hear of the devastating effects of a 7.0 earthquake in Haiti. This was because of the tectonic plates going in opposite directions against each other, i.e. the transform boundary!The most famous example is the San Andreas Fault in California.Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor .... one of the most visible and spectacular consequences of plate tectonics. ... However, a few occur on land, for example the San Andreas fault zone in California.
A fault that forms at a transform boundary
Tension
It is called a divergent plate boundary.
A strike-slip or transform fault.
Along the San Andreas Fault line.
Transform boundaries occur where tectonic plates slide by each other. A famous transform boundary is located in California at the San Andreas Fault.
A transform fault boundary is a conservative plate boundary. This is what gets rid of lithosphere.
it occurs along a transform boundary
It is on a transform fault boundary.
Earthquakes can occur at a transform boundary.
It is a right-lateral strike-slip fault
YES. A Strike-slip fault is usually a transform boundary.
Earthquakes can occur at a transform boundary.
Earthquakes can occur at a transform boundary.
That is called a boundary or a transform-fault boundary. :D
