Transform Boundary
Plate boundaries.
A transform boundary occurs when tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally, causing earthquakes. On the other hand, a convergent boundary forms when two tectonic plates collide, leading to the formation of mountains, trenches, and volcanic activity.
The three types of convergence are convergent boundary, divergent boundary, and transform boundary. Convergent boundaries occur when tectonic plates collide, divergent boundaries occur when tectonic plates move away from each other, and transform boundaries occur when tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally.
A divergent boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart. As the plates move away from each other, magma rises up to create new crust, resulting in features like mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on land.
The Earth's crust is broken up into several lithospheric or tectonic plates. These plates are constantly moving atop the Earth's mantle (semi-solid layer of molten rocks). Based upon their motion, tectonic plates are referred to as converging or diverging. Converging tectonic plates move towards each other and form convergent boundary. Diverging tectonic plates move away from each other and form divergent boundary.
When the edges of two plates slide alongside each other, it can result in a tectonic boundary known as a transform fault. This type of boundary can create earthquakes due to the friction and pressure between the plates as they move past each other.
Any area where two or more tectonic plates do not touch each other is a not a tectonic plate boundary.
A transform boundary is a type of plate boundary where tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. Before the formation of a transform boundary, the movement of tectonic plates may have been different, such as moving towards each other at a convergent boundary or moving apart at a divergent boundary. After the formation of a transform boundary, the movement of tectonic plates changes to sliding past each other horizontally, which can cause earthquakes and create new geological features.

Convergent Boundary
conservative
This is known as a divergent boundary.
At a transform boundary, tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally in opposite directions. This movement can cause earthquakes along the boundary.
At transform boundaries, the plates move horizontal in relation to each other.
A divergent boundary forms when tectonic plates pull apart. As the plates move away from each other, magma rises up to create new crust, resulting in features like mid-ocean ridges or rift valleys on land.
