Which block diagram best shows a transform fault?

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.

Is a transform fault and reverse fault the same?

No. A transform fault is a lateral movement across the strike. Huge transform faults dominate the Atlantic Ocean floor like ribs extending from the sides of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. A reverse fault has vertical displacement (becoming horizontal at depth if listric) in which the hanging wall drops relative to the footwall, and is associated with continental crust thinning and spreading.

What is an example of a divergent plate boundary and a transform plate boundary?

An example of a divergent plate boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate are moving apart. An example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California, where the Pacific Plate and North American Plate are sliding past each other horizontally.
