Transform faults cause earthquakes.
Transform faults, where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, can result in earthquakes but are not typically associated with natural disasters. However, they can indirectly contribute to other natural disasters. For example, if a transform fault runs through a coastal area, the sudden movement along the fault during an earthquake could trigger a tsunami, which can be highly destructive. Additionally, the rupture of a transform fault might also lead to landslides, particularly if it occurs in mountainous regions.
Earthquakes are the natural phenomenon that often occur at transform boundaries. An example is the San Andreas Fault, which has caused several catastrophic earthquakes.
Near fault lines, hence the mountains.
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
The Alpine Fault is a geological right-lateral strike-slip fault. It forms a transform boundary, so yes.
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas 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 Hayward fault is a "transform" fault. :)
