Transform faults cause earthquakes.
At a transform fault boundary, you would find a strike-slip fault. This type of fault is characterized by horizontal motion where two tectonic plates slide past each other. Earthquakes are commonly associated with transform fault boundaries due to the friction caused by the plates' movement.
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.
The Alpine Fault is a geological right-lateral strike-slip fault. It forms a transform boundary, so yes.
There is no archaeological evidence to suggest that Catal Huyuk, an ancient Neolithic settlement in present-day Turkey, was affected by natural disasters during its existence. However, the area is prone to seismic activity due to its location along major fault lines.
The most studied transform fault in the world is the San Andreas Fault.

It is a transform fault where rocks on either side of the fault move sideways past each other. This motion is caused by shearing forces that result in horizontal displacement along the fault line. Examples of transform faults include the San Andreas Fault in California.
the Hayward fault is a "transform" fault. :)
No. It is a transform fault.
The Alpine Fault is a geological right-lateral strike-slip fault. It forms a transform boundary, so yes.
