Transform faults occur when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. These faults are found in mid-ocean ridges where plates are moving apart. The movement along transform faults can result in earthquakes.
Transform boundaries produce strike-slip faults. These faults occur when two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. Examples of transform boundaries include the San Andreas Fault in California.
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.
Shear stress causes Transform faults, in strike-slip zones of conservative boundaries.
It is a right-lateral strike-slip fault
Yes, the Mid-Atlantic Ridge is a divergent boundary, not a transform fault.

it occurs along a transform boundary
Transform boundaries occur where tectonic plates slide by each other. A famous transform boundary is located in California at the San Andreas Fault.
A Transform fault boundaries are where two plates are sliding horizontally past one another. They sometimes even get stuck. the longer the time before the plates slip, the stronger the earthquake.
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.

Transform boundaries are characterized by lateral sliding of tectonic plates, resulting in faults and fractures in the Earth's crust. Some landforms that can occur along transform boundaries include strike-slip faults, valleys, and linear ridges formed by tectonic activity. These boundaries do not typically exhibit prominent landforms such as mountains or trenches like other plate boundaries.

the Hayward fault is a "transform" fault. :)
No. It is a transform fault.
