Transform Boundaries; Places where plates slide past each other are called transform boundaries. ... Although transform boundaries are not marked by spectacular surface features, their sliding motion causes lots of earthquakes.

Transform boundaries neither create nor consume crust. Rather, two plates move against each other, building up tension, then releasing the tension in a sudden and often violent jerk. This sudden jerk creates an earthquake.

Transform Faults ... Faults are when two plates move in opposite directions. These plates our always moving. When the two plates unlock, energy is released and that is what ... This picture shows 2 major plates; The North American Plate and the Pacific plate. One plate is moving north and the other is moving south.

At transform boundaries, tectonic plates are not moving directly toward or directly away from each other. Instead, two tectonic plates grind past each other in a horizontal direction. This kind of boundary results in a fault — a crack or fracture in the earth's crust that is associated with this movement.
