Transform boundaries occur when two plates are sliding along each other in opposing directions. Due to friction when the plates buckle and shift, they often cause earthquakes. A famous transform fault is the San Andreas fault in California.

ProfessorA transformation boundary is the limit between two different geological terranes characterized by distinct rock types or structures. It can represent the transition zone where different tectonic forces have affected the rocks in different ways, creating a boundary between two distinct geological domains. These boundaries help geologists understand the complex history of the Earth's crust and how it has evolved over time.

Along a transform boundary?
At a transform boundary, two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. This movement can create earthquakes due to friction between the plates. These boundaries are found on the ocean floor, such as along the San Andreas Fault in California.
What is the name of the boundary where two plates are moving toward one another?
Convergent boundary.
What do you call the Transformation of solid to gas?
The transformation of a solid directly into a gas is called sublimation.
What Type of Plate Boundary Is Creating MT Fuji?
Mt. Fuji is located in Japan. It is near a continental convergent boundary, a continental transform boundary, and an oceanic transform boundary.
Tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally?
Transform boundary
