The Alpine Fault is a geological right-lateral strike-slip fault. It forms a transform boundary, so yes.
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
Where 2 plates slide past each other in a horizontal motion that boundary is called a Transform Boundary, or a fault.
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
YES. A Strike-slip fault is usually a transform boundary.
The Alpine Fault is a right-lateral strike-slip fault, where the motion is predominantly horizontal and parallel to the fault plane. This fault is located in the Southern Alps of New Zealand and is considered one of the world's fastest-moving and most hazardous faults.
The San Andreas fault in California is a major transform boundary or fault, as is New Zealand's Alpine fault and North America's Queen Charlotte fault.
The San Andreas fault in California is a major transform boundary or fault, as is New Zealand's Alpine fault and North America's Queen Charlotte fault.
Examples of transform boundaries include the San Andreas Fault in California, the Alpine Fault in New Zealand, and the Dead Sea Transform in the Middle East. At these boundaries, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, creating strike-slip faults.
The San Andreas fault in California is a major transform boundary or fault, as is New Zealand's Alpine fault and North America's Queen Charlotte fault.
The three main transform boundaries are the San Andreas Fault in California, the Alpine Fault in New Zealand, and the North Anatolian Fault in Turkey. These boundaries are characterized by horizontal movement that occurs as tectonic plates slide past each other.
The San Andreas Fault in California, where the Pacific Plate meets the North American Plate and they grind past each other. Also: Turkey's North Anatolian Fault New Zealand's Alpine Fault
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
A strike-slip or transform fault.
The alpine fault is located in New Zeland. There have been no major earthquakes on the main portion of it. The fault mover 30mm a year!

the Hayward fault is a "transform" fault. :)
