Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A transform fault is a type of strike-slip fault where two tectonic plates slide past each other horizontally. These faults often form the boundaries between major tectonic plates, such as the San Andreas Fault in California. A transform fault is not a reverse fault, thrust fault, dip-slip fault, or mid-ocean ridge bounding fault.
