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.
What else can I help you with?
What is a transformed fault?
a transform boundary is when two plates scrape past each other with an effect of a earthquake
Is a transform fault boundary?
A transform fault boundary is a conservative plate boundary. This is what gets rid of lithosphere.
Can a fault also be a plate boundary?
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?
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 is the most common fault in the san Andreas fault system?
It's a transform boundary between two plates. The resultant fault of a transform boundary.
What fault is most common in the San Andreas fault system?
It's a transform boundary between two plates. The resultant fault of a transform boundary.
A normal fault occurs mostly at a boundary?
divergent boundary
What type of boundary is a reverse fault on?
You can find it on a convergent 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.
Is San Francisco on a plate boundary?
Yes, San Francisco lies near the boundary between the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate. This tectonic boundary is known as the San Andreas Fault, which is a transform fault boundary.
