Transform Boundary
What is transform boundary?
Transform boundaries tectonic plates are passing each other that could but might not create earthquakes.
How does it work?
The transform faults are found on the seafloor and are caused by surges of magma rising to make a ridge that is discontinuous after it’s been formed. And while this process is happening, the plates move in opposite directions sliding against each other causing earthquakes, small or big.
Why does this happen?
Transform boundaries create earthquakes because they are like the rest of the world, they are moving plates, just moving beside each other scratching and grinding for thousands of kilometres, that are about 8k. deep.
Below is a map showing The location of San Andreas Fault, the largest
transform boundary in the world (but it is much longer than you
can see on the map).
