frequent earthquakes.
transform boundary
It is a transform plate boundary.
An example of a divergent plate boundary is the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, where the Eurasian Plate and North American Plate are moving apart. An example of a transform plate boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California, where the Pacific Plate and North American Plate are sliding past each other horizontally.
The boundary between the Gorda plate and the North American Plate is a transform boundary. Transform boundaries that lie at near land are the most destructive, which is the case in Southern California, which is close to this plate boundary.

transform boundary
The most common event at a transform plate boundary is earthquakes. These occur as the plates slide past each other, causing friction and pressure to build up before being released in seismic activity. Volcanic eruptions are less likely at transform boundaries compared to other types of plate boundaries.
The San Andreas fault is a transform plate boundary.
transform boundary
Convergent plate boundary, divergent plate boundary and strike-slip (transform) plate boundary.
Strike-Slip Faulting
It is a transform plate boundary.
A transform fault boundary is a conservative plate boundary. This is what gets rid of lithosphere.
Mt. Fuji is located in Japan. It is near a continental convergent boundary, a continental transform boundary, and an oceanic transform boundary.
A transform plate boundary forms where two plates slide past one another horizontally. This movement can cause earthquakes due to the friction and pressure buildup along the boundary. An example of this type of boundary is the San Andreas Fault in California.
