The transform boundary is also known as the transform fault. This type of boundary is commonly found in deep ocean floors and are typically involved in movement which aids in relieving tension in the layers of the earth.
A block diagram depicting a transform fault typically shows two offset segments of a mid-ocean ridge, with a vertical fault in between. The fault is generally characterized by horizontal displacement of the two segments in opposite directions. The diagram should clearly indicate the transform fault as a boundary between the two offset ridge segments.
The western side near the pacific ocean is sliding north relative to the eastern side inland, with no significant vertical movement.
The landforms that are formed at a transform boundary forms features such as fault lines and oceanic fracture zones. Fault lines are also known as strike slip faults. They produce powerful earthquakes.
Usually none. Only earthquakes are frequent on transform boundaries since transform boundaries appear mostly in the ocean. Transform boundaries, like the San Andreas Fault, usually only produce Earthquakes. However, there are often volcanoes AT transform boundaries (like the Long Valley Caldera) as a result of shearing and the thin surface that results from California's nearby divergent boundary that allows magma to inch much closer to the surface.

A transform boundary is the place at which two tectonic plates move past each other horizontally is called transform boundary.The San Andreas fault in California is a transform boundary.The most common place to find a transform boundary is the ocean floor.

earthquakes occur where there are transformed boundaries.
A fault that forms at a transform boundary
because the plates are on the floor of the ocean and then doesnt make that big of a mess!
San Andreas Fault--transform plate boundary. Himalayan Mountain Range--convergent plate boundary. Mid-ocean ridge--divergent plate boundary.

no the mid- Atlantic ridge is a transform boundary
the answer to the question is: continental slope
