Transform Boundaries
Transform Boundaries
Transform Boundaries : - A transform boundary is where two plates are sliding parallel to each other but in opposite directions relative to one another. The plates usually move very slowly past each other but then suddenly slip quickly. When this happens, there is an earthquake. Whether on land or under the ocean, a transform boundary usually has fold mountains along its length. There are also many cracks in the rock, and called fault lines. Fault lines usually do not form one continuous crack in the crust along the plate boundary. Instead there are many cracks parallel to each other. Transform boundaries are not constructive or destructive boundaries because they do not make new crust or destroy crust. They can destroy buildings and can buckle crust. They can destroy no rock is destroyed and none is created.
