Earths Structure And Layers Questions
Transform plate boundaries are areas where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. These boundaries are characterized by intense seismic activity, as the plates grind against each other. The most common geological feature found at transform plate boundaries are faults, specifically strike-slip faults. These faults occur when the plates move in opposite directions, causing rocks to break and slide past each other. The San Andreas Fault in California is a well-known example of a transform plate boundary.
