The San Andreas Fault is undoubtedly the most famous transform boundary in the world. To the west of the fault is the Pacific plate, which is moving northwest. To the east is the North American Plate, which is moving southeast.

Transform boundaries occur where plates are grinding past one another, like the San Andreas fault. Plate boundary zones are broad belts in which boundaries are not well defined and the effects of plate interaction are unclear.

Occurs when tectonic plates slide and grind against each other along a transform fault. The relative motion of such plates is horizontal in either sinistral or dextral direction. Many transform boundaries are locked in tension before sudden...
