San Andreas Fault
At a transform boundary, lithospheric plates slide horizontally past each other. This movement can cause earthquakes and the formation of strike-slip faults. Transform boundaries are characterized by intense pressure and friction as the plates interact.
At a transform boundary, two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can create earthquakes due to friction between the plates. These boundaries are found on the ocean floor, such as along the San Andreas Fault in California.
The name of the transform boundary that separates the Pacific Plate and the North American Plate is known as the San Andreas Fault. It is the site of many of the earthquakes that plague Southern California.
A plate is not classified as convergent, divergent, or transform, a plate boundary i.e. a boundary between plates is. All three types of plate boundary can be found along the edges of the North American plate.
Divergent boundaries are found along mid-ocean ridges, convergent boundaries are found at subduction zones and mountain ranges, and transform boundaries are found along fault lines like the San Andreas Fault in California.
Transform boundaries occur where tectonic plates slide by each other. A famous transform boundary is located in California at the San Andreas Fault.
Transform boundaries can be found along tectonic plate boundaries where two plates slide past each other horizontally. An example of a well-known transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California, USA.

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 certain type of strike-slip fault is found at a transform plate boundary.
At a transform boundary, two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can create earthquakes due to friction between the plates. These boundaries are found on the ocean floor, such as along the San Andreas Fault in California.
Strike-Slip faults are found at transform boundaries because strike slip faults push and pull on opposing forces HORIZONTALLY exactly like a transform boundary.

A transform boundary forms where plates slide past each other horizontally. Most transform boundaries are found near Mid-ocean ridges.
