∙ 11y ago
A fracture in the Earth's crust (with associated transverse or strike slip movement - similar to the San Andreas fault) that runs through the north of the country of Turkey, separating Eurasian plate and the Anatolian plate. It is associated with modern earthquakes, the loci of which which are gradually moving westwards towards Istanbul.

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 is the boundary between the north American and pacific plates?
San Andreas Fault.
What plate boundary is san Francisco located on?
San Francisco is located on the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate, known as the San Andreas Fault. This is a transform plate boundary, where the two plates are sliding past each other horizontally.
What states does the San Andreas fault travel through?
The San Andreas Fault forms the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate.
Can a continental and oceanic plate have a transform boundary?
Yes. An example is the San Andreas Fault, a transform boundary between the Pacific (oceanic) and the North American (continental) plates.
Examples of transform fault boundary?
The San Andreas Fault in California, where the Pacific Plate meets the North American Plate and they grind past each other. Also: Turkey's North Anatolian Fault New Zealand's Alpine Fault
What are examples of a transform boundary?
The San Andreas fault in California is a major transform boundary or fault, as is New Zealand's Alpine fault and North America's Queen Charlotte fault.
What are some examples of a transform boundary?
The San Andreas fault in California is a major transform boundary or fault, as is New Zealand's Alpine fault and North America's Queen Charlotte 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 is the plate boundary of the san Andreas fault?
A transform boundary.
Is the San Andreas fault connected to the North American plate?
The San Andreas fault is not connected to the North American or Pacific Plates but is merely the boundary between the two where they make contact. As such, it is a fault as well as a plate boundary.
Explain how tectonic forces created the san Andreas fault zone?
The San Andreas fault is an example of a strike-slip fault. It is located at a transform boundary, and was created when the Pacific plate and North American plate ground past one another horizontally.
What type of plate boundary forms where two plates slide past one another?
That is called a boundary or a transform-fault boundary. :D
What is the boundary between the north American and pacific plates?
San Andreas Fault.
The san andreas fault is an example of what kind of fault?
The San Andreas Fault is a continental transform fault. It is around eight hundred and ten miles long and forms the boundary between the Pacific and the North American lithospheric plates. In California this crack in the crust of the earth is visible. As a result of this fault, many earthquakes have occurred in the regions that it passes.
What are examples of a transformer?
The San Andreas fault in California is a major transform boundary or fault, as is New Zealand's Alpine fault and North America's Queen Charlotte fault.
How does the transform fault boundary occur?
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
