What is the plate boundary of the san Andreas fault?
A transform boundary.
How does the transform fault boundary occur?
when two plates are slide past one another an example is the san Andreas fault California which is the boundary between the north America and pacific plates
Tectonic plates forming a transform boundary may move only a few centimeters each year can even this small movement affect people and communities living near a transform boundary?
When tectonic plates slide past each other, the movement may cause earthquakes, which might injure people or damage property in a community.
The blank is an example of a transform boundary?
Haiti is an example of a transform boundary, because the left side of Haiti (where Port Au Prince is located) is the boundary of a tectonic plate that is sliding past another tectonic plate going in the other direction (Transform boundary). Because of this, a lot of tension builds up between the two plates, until an earthquake occurs when they slide past each other. (Keep in mind that tectonic plates move very little, and it took Pangea 250 million years to become what we see the world as now).Think, today (this is recent news as of January 20, 2010) when you turn on the news you hear of the devastating effects of a 7.0 earthquake in Haiti. This was because of the tectonic plates going in opposite directions against each other, i.e. the transform boundary!The most famous example is the San Andreas Fault in California.Transform boundaries -- where crust is neither produced nor .... one of the most visible and spectacular consequences of plate tectonics. ... However, a few occur on land, for example the San Andreas fault zone in California.
At what type of boundary do plates move together?
This is a convergent plate boundary, the plates move towards each other. The amount of crust on the surface of the earth remains relatively constant. Therefore, when plates diverge (separate) and form new crust in one area, the plates must converge (come together) in another area and be destroyed. An example of this is the Nazca plate being subducted under the South American plate to form the Andes Mountain Chain. got this from:http://www.moorlandschool.co.uk/earth/tectonic.htm

Is a transform fault boundary?
A transform fault boundary is a conservative plate boundary. This is what gets rid of lithosphere.
