Transform plate boundaries are characterized by the lateral sliding of tectonic plates past one another. This movement can lead to significant seismic activity, including earthquakes, as the plates get stuck due to friction and then suddenly release. Notable events associated with transform boundaries include the 1906 San Francisco earthquake along the San Andreas Fault and the 1999 İzmit earthquake in Turkey. These areas often experience frequent tremors and can also result in surface rupture and faulting.
