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 type boundary is the San Andreas Fault?
It is a right-lateral strike-slip fault
A fault generally occurs at a transform boundary?
A strike-slip fault generally occurs at a transform boundary
What is the difference between a transform and a transverse fault?
A transform fault is a general term to describe a plate boundary where the lithosphere is not destroyed or created. A transverse fault is a type of transform fault also known as a strike-slip fault.
Which type of plate boundary is associated with the San Andreas Fault?
It is on a transform fault boundary.
What type of boundaries form where two plates slide past each other?
A Transform Boundary, such as the San Andreas Fault
Is a strike-slip fault the same as a transform fault?
Yes.
What are the 3 type of earthquakes?
(1)midocean spreading ridges, (2) subduction zones, and (3) transform faults.Normal fault, Reverse fault, and strike-slip fault
What is most studied transform fault in the world?
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
What fault occur at transform boundary?
A strike-slip or transform fault.
What type boundary is the San Andreas Fault?
It is a right-lateral strike-slip fault
What is the studied transform fault in the world?
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
A fault generally occurs at a transform boundary?
A strike-slip fault generally occurs at a transform boundary
Is a thrust fault the same as normal fault?
No. A thrust fault is a reverse fault with a dip angle of less than 45 degrees.
What is the difference between a transform and a transverse fault?
A transform fault is a general term to describe a plate boundary where the lithosphere is not destroyed or created. A transverse fault is a type of transform fault also known as a strike-slip fault.
What kind of fault is the Hayward fault?
the Hayward fault is a "transform" fault. :)
Is the San Andreas fault a thrust fault?
No. It is a transform fault.
Is the alpine fault a transform fault?
The Alpine Fault is a geological right-lateral strike-slip fault. It forms a transform boundary, so yes.
