Before 1965, geologists were unable to explain the abrupt disappearance of transcurrent faults in crustal rocks. Wilson explained the phenomenon with his suggestion that the vanishing faults could be explained by the presence of zones of contraction and expansion in the crustal bedrock. He named these "disappearing" faults transform faults.
