A transform boundary, or conservative plate boundary, is a type of fault at the margin of two adjacent tectonic plates were the relative motion is horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction between the two.

Is a transform fault boundary?

A transform fault boundary is a conservative plate boundary. This is what gets rid of lithosphere.

Yes, for example the San Andreas Fault is a plate boundary.


Is a strike-slip fault a transform boundary?

YES. A Strike-slip fault is usually a transform boundary.


What type of fault is convergent boundary?

A convergent boundary is a reverse fault. It's a reverse fault because it it pushing together, while a divergent boundary is a normal fault because 2 plates are pushing away from each other.


What are examples of a transform boundary?

What is a transform fault boundary?

A transform fault boundary is a type of tectonic plate boundary characterized by horizontal sliding of plates past each other. This movement can cause earthquakes as the plates grind against each other. An example of a transform fault boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
