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 Alpine Fault is a geological right-lateral strike-slip fault. It forms a transform boundary, so yes.
Antarctica is a continental glacier. Alpine glaciers are a different type of glacier.
It is a strike-slip fault.

Strike-slip faults are the most common fault type around the San Andreas 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 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.

Not anymore. Or maybe if you consider the Alpine 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.
