shearing
The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent, convergent, and transform. Divergent boundaries occur where plates move apart, creating new crust. Convergent boundaries occur where plates collide and can result in subduction zones or mountain formation. Transform boundaries occur where plates slide past each other horizontally.
The type of plate boundary with the most occurrences of earthquakes is the convergent boundary, where two tectonic plates collide. The intense pressure and stress caused by the collision can result in frequent seismic activity and powerful earthquakes.
Crust is neither created nor destroyed along a transform boundary. Transform boundaries are characterized by horizontal displacement of crustal blocks, where tectonic plates slide past each other. This movement does not involve the production or destruction of crust, but rather leads to earthquakes due to the friction and stress along the boundary.
Rocks that form at transform boundaries are typically fault rocks, such as fault breccia and mylonite. These rocks are characterized by intense deformation due to the shearing forces present at transform boundaries.
Transform boundaries involve lateral shearing forces, where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can create faults and earthquakes along the plate boundary.
Tension
Transform boundarys are also called strike-slip faults. The only transform boundry is in California.

a transform boundary
A transform boundary forms where plates slide past each other horizontally. Most transform boundaries are found near Mid-ocean ridges.
transform boundry as in the san Andreas fault
A transform boundary is a type of plate boundary where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can result in earthquakes and the creation of features like strike-slip faults. An example of a transform boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
The type of boundary that causes shearing is transform boundary.
